Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they’re fork-tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, cream, salt, and pepper.
2. Sauté the Spinach
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic in a bit of olive oil until fragrant.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the Casserole
- In a greased baking dish, spread half of the mashed sweet potatoes as the base layer.
- Add a layer of sautéed spinach, followed by half the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous topping of cheese.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with roasted meats or enjoy it as a vegetarian main dish.
Tips for Success
- Customize the Greens: Swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard if you prefer.
- Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle breadcrumbs or crushed nuts for added texture.
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the casserole a day in advance and bake it fresh when ready to serve.
