Sweet potato casserole, a holiday favorite, can be enriched with an unusual ingredient: orange zest. This zest adds a bright citrus flavor that balances the richness from sweet potatoes and butter, enhancing the overall taste. A tablespoon of orange zest also contributes vitamin C to the dish. Zesting is simple, needing just a microplane or zester; care should be taken not to remove the bitter white pith. It takes just one medium orange's zest to elevate a casserole serving eight, and squeezing in fresh juice is encouraged to minimize waste.
To switch it up for an upcoming dinner, we have an unlikely ingredient to consider that probably makes it to the trash can more often than not: orange zest.
Orange zest adds bright, citrus-forward flavors to the dish. This will help balance the richness of ingredients like sweet potatoes and butter.
The best option is a microplane or citrus zester so you can get the zest off the orange peel.
To upgrade your casserole, it only takes the zest of one medium orange for dishes that make around eight servings.
