Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups purple sweet potato washed, peeled, cubed + water for boiling
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 teaspoons fresh ginger minced or finely grated
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of cardamom
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 2 cups mini vegan marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Add chopped sweet potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Strain potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl (or use the pot you cooked them in).
- Add milk, butter, maple syrup, spices, and salt. Whip with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Spread sweet potato mixture into a baking dish (I used a 7.5 x 6-inch rectangular baking dish). Add mini marshmallows on top and bake for 15-20 minutes. If needed, turn to broil for the last 5 minutes to ensure marshmallows are golden brown.
Notes
Storage Tips
A vegan sweet potato casserole in your fridge can make the next few nights of dinner easier than ever. You’ll have up to 5 days to finish it off, though even as delightful as it is, no one likes eating the same thing every day. To that end, you can put it in an airtight container and freeze it, which allows you to keep it for up to 3 months.
