Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup mashed roasted sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon toasted pecans (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 slices crispy bacon (crumbled, for garnish)
• Optional: A tiny drizzle of maple syrup for finishing

Preparation Tips

• Roast sweet potatoes for deep flavor: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes until soft, then mash.
• Balance the sweetness: The sea salt and black pepper help prevent the filling from being too sweet.
• Make it extra creamy: Add a touch more mayo if you prefer a silkier texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil and Peel the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with the mashed sweet potato, mayonnaise, maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white halves for a polished look.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Top each deviled egg with toasted pecans or crispy bacon. For an extra touch, drizzle lightly with maple syrup just before serving.

Make-Ahead & Storage

These deviled eggs can be made up to 1 day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, adding garnishes just before serving for the freshest taste and texture.
