Critical Success Points

  • Roast sweet potatoes instead of boiling to preserve color and sweetness.
  • Taste the filling before baking and adjust sugar as needed.
  • Start baking at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower to 325°F for the remainder to achieve a golden top and a custard‑like interior.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
  • Melted butter is hot; avoid splatter burns.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when peeling roasted sweet potatoes.
