The classic Sweet Potato Casserole is a given at Thanksgiving for us. We mix in a little roasted banana and a splash of booze to dress ours up and it HAS to have the praline pecan topping. Check out that recipe here. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a slightly healthier and MUCH easier alternative to the sugar, egg, carb, fat laden casserole that always graces our table.
Cube 2 pounds of peeled sweet potatoes, brown 3 tbsp of butter, toss with Urban Accents’ Honey, Ginger & Vanilla seasoning blend and 1/3 – 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, then roast for 35-45 minutes. Done and done. The honey, ginger, and vanilla seasoning blend is the perfect combination of flavors to season the sweet potatoes so that they don’t need any extra sugar. You don’t miss all of the extra stuff at all! These make a great weeknight side, but would totally satisfy your picky family at a holiday celebration too!
