Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are nutritional powerhouses, rich in vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. They provide beta-carotene, which supports eye health and immune function. To make this dish healthier, reduce butter and cream, substituting with Greek yogurt or milk. Natural maple syrup offers minerals like manganese and zinc. Consider skipping brown sugar and letting maple syrup provide sweetness. Pecans add healthy fats and protein. For a lighter version, use coconut milk instead of cream. While nutritious, this is a calorie-dense dish best enjoyed in moderation. The warm spices like cinnamon and ginger may help regulate blood sugar.
