Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash.

  2. 2

    Mix the Casserole Base

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Topping

    In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar, chopped pecans, and a pinch of salt. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the sweet potato layer.

  5. 5

    Add Marshmallows

    Top the casserole with vegan marshmallows, covering the surface evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the marshmallows are toasted.

  7. 7
