Notes
Storage:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- If you’re making the dish ahead of time, you can put the sweet potatoes right into a casserole dish so that they are easy to reheat. We suggest leaving it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes first. Then, reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20-30 minutes or until they are warm.
