Ingredients:

• 4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 7 medium)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until very tender when pierced with a knife, 1 hour.
• When cool enough to handle, halve sweet potatoes. With a spoon, scoop out fresh (discard skins); transfer to a food processor.
• Add butter and syrup; process until smooth.
• Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
