DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°; spray 8½ x 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Makes about 4¼ cups.

For a smoother purée, use a mixer in step 1 to beat sweet potato flesh and seasonings on medium-low speed until smooth.

Topping can be prepared, covered and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
