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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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!

Dec 25, 2024My soufflés deflated a bit after taking them out of the oven. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Still tasted delicious though!
