This Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans and Marshmallows may be the best lightened up side dish ever! Perfect to serve up at Thanksgiving or anytime really and easy to make gluten-free and vegan too!
Bake sweet potatoes for 45 minutes, flipping halfway. Potatoes should be tender with a fork. Take out and allow to cool until cool (about 15 minutes). Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Cut the sweet potatoes open and discard the skin. For the sweet potato base, add the sweet potato flesh to a large bowl with the maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a large bowl.
