When it comes to holiday comfort food, nothing beats sweet potatoes. But this year, we’re turning tradition on its head with a Caribbean twist. Our Jamaican Sweet Potato Casserole layers buttery sweet potatoes with cane syrup, brown sugar, and Hola Island’s Jamaican Blend for a dish that’s sticky, spiced, and unforgettable.
This recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any time you want to impress with bold flavors that feel both familiar and new.
Why This Recipe Works
- Caribbean Spice Kick – Hola Island’s Jamaican Blend brings heat and depth you won’t find in a classic casserole.
- Layered Perfection – Thin slices soak up butter, sugar, and spice for flavor in every bite.
- Holiday-Ready – A showstopper for Thanksgiving or Christmas tables.
Ingredients
- 3–4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced thin on a mandolin)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 tbsp cane syrup (or maple syrup)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp Hola Island Jamaican Blend
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes into very thin rounds using a mandolin.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, cane syrup, brown sugar, Hola Island Jamaican Blend, and a pinch of salt.
- Layer sweet potato slices in the baking dish, slightly overlapping them like shingles. Brush each layer with the butter-spice mixture as you go.
- Continue until all potatoes are layered and coated.
- Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and sticky on top.
- Serve warm as a sweet-savory side dish that pairs perfectly with turkey, ham, or roasted vegetables.
