Ingredients

4 pound sweet potatoes
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pierce each sweet potato in several places with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and roast until soft, 45-60 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Slip off the skins and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch slices. Transfer to a large bowl and add the butter. Smash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until fluffy but some lumps remain. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
