Ingredients

  • Delightful Reynolds Wrap® Pan Lining Paper
  • A medley of 2 pounds of parsnips and/or carrots, expertly peeled and sliced into charming 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 pounds of sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into inviting 1-inch pieces
  • A delightful ½ cup of reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup of luxurious whipping cream
  • 5 portions of butter, finely chopped and divided into delightful bits
  • A sprinkle of ¾ teaspoon of salt, softly divided
  • ½ cup of packed brown sugar, adding a touch of sweetness
  • ¼ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of crushed dried rosemary, releasing its fragrant essence
  • ½ cup of pecans, artfully chopped to perfection
  • 2 tablespoons of luscious maple syrup to tie all the flavors together

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for a warm and toasty cooking environment. Get your 2-quart rectangular baking dish ready by lining it with Reynolds Wrap® Pan Lining Paper, ensuring the parchment side faces up. No need to worry about greasing the dish - we've got you covered.

Step 2

In a spacious microwave-safe bowl, place a delightful mix of parsnips and/or carrots. Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the bowl with a sheet of wax paper. Pop it in the microwave on high for a quick 5 minutes. Uncover, add the sweet potatoes, cover again, and let it dance in the microwave for another 15 minutes or until everything is tender, giving it a gentle stir midway. Once done, drain the veggies and return them to the bowl, ready for the next step.

Step 3

Now, pour some comforting broth and cream into the bowl with the veggies. Grab a trusty potato masher and start mashing away until you reach your desired consistency. Mix in 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors. Once everything is nicely combined, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 4

Prepare a delicious topping by combining brown sugar, flour, fragrant rosemary, and a pinch of salt in a separate medium-sized bowl. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your nimble fingers, work in 2 tablespoons of butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup for that extra touch of sweetness. Sprinkle this delightful mixture over the sweet potato concoction in the baking dish.

Step 5

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pecan topping begins to show a hint of golden brown. Your delectable dish will be ready to charm your taste buds with its delightful flavors and textures.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by selecting the freshest sweet potatoes available at your local market. Look for ones that are firm, smooth, and free of any blemishes.
  2. 2. Store your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cupboard. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator as the cold temperatures can negatively affect their flavor and texture.
  3. 3. To prevent sprouting, try storing your sweet potatoes alongside an apple or banana. The ethylene gas released by these fruits can help inhibit sprouting.
