- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato mixture is heated through.
- Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each ramekin.
- Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden, crispy crust. Serve immediately and enjoy!
