Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Prick the sweet potatoes 2–3 times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake until very tender when pierced with a knife, 45–60 minutes.
Step 2
• Let the sweet potato cool slightly, then cut it in half lengthwise. Holding the tuber steady with an oven mitt or towel, scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Press the sweet potato through a potato masher into a large bowl.
Step 3
• In a small skillet, combine the butter, maple syrup, and zest and heat over medium heat until melted. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
