For a richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes instead of microwaving. This will take longer, about 45-60 minutes at 400°F (200°C), but the caramelized flavor is worth it! Room temperature eggs are crucial for achieving maximum volume when whipping the egg whites. Be extremely gentle when folding the egg whites into the sweet potato mixture. This is what gives the soufflés their signature airy texture. Don't overfill the ramekins, as the soufflés will rise quite a bit during baking. Soufflés are best served immediately. Have your guests ready and waiting!

01 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Place sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Prick several times with a fork. Microwave on high until very soft, about 8-10 minutes, depending on size. Let cool slightly.
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter four 5-ounce ramekins. Ensure the butter coats the entire inside surface to prevent sticking.
03 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Separate and Scoop: Halve the cooled sweet potatoes. Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl.
04 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Egg Separation: Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a clean, grease-free bowl and the yolks in another medium bowl.
05 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Sweet Potato Base: Add 1 cup of mashed sweet potato to the bowl with the egg yolks. Pour in the milk, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
06 Step
Recipe View 7 mins Whip the Whites: Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
07 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Folding Technique: Gently fold 1/2 of the whipped egg whites into the sweet potato mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand to avoid deflating the whites. Once mostly combined, fold in the remaining egg whites just until a few streaks remain. Do not overmix.
08 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Fill the Ramekins: Gently spoon the sweet potato mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
09 Step
Recipe View 18 mins Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed up and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
10 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fried sage leaves, if desired. Serve immediately, as soufflés will deflate quickly. For an extra touch, serve with a drizzle of cayenne-infused maple syrup.
