For an even richer flavor, use browned butter in the sauce. To prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking, grease the casserole dish thoroughly with butter. The dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated before serving. Add a splash of maple syrup during reheating if the sauce has thickened too much. Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup and vanilla extract to suit your personal preference. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
