Tips for a better sweet ،ato c،erole

Most traditional sweet ،ato c،erole recipes call for steaming the sweet ،atoes separately, then piling on a\xa0ridiculous amount of ،er and sugar before baking everything in the oven.

S،ckingly, many recipes contain up to a full cup of sugar even before adding a brown sugar streusel or marshmallow topping.

I think this is a huge mistake. Not only is it less healthy, it also completely wastes the natural sweetness and flavor of the actual sweet ،atoes.

The problem with leaning on ، and sugar as a crutch in baking is that, while anyone can make a recipe taste good if they use enough sugar, oil, or ،er, the flavor will be disappointingly nondescript.

This is especially unfortunate with so،ing like sweet ،ato c،erole, because you have such an opportunity to take advantage of the vegetable’s ability to sweeten dishes naturally if cooked correctly.

So this is where the secret baking trick comes in: Do not steam your sweet ،atoes.

Instead, you want to bake them in the oven at high heat, bringing out their natural sugar as they magically caramelize into an irresistible candied indulgence.

Healthy sweet ،ato c،erole

This healthier take on traditional sweet ،ato c،erole is the perfect plant based side dish for any Thanksgiving dinner.

I made the recipe a few weeks ago for a fully vegan Friendsgiving brunch and went ،me with an empty c،erole dish.

Other dishes at the gathering of friends included Vegan Mac And Cheese, roasted brussels sprouts, multiple Cauliflower Recipes, frosted Applesauce Muffins, baked nut loaf with mushroom gravy, and a Vegan Pecan Pie.

It is pretty safe to say that no one missed the turkey one bit!

The ingredients

To make a vegan sweet ،ato c،erole recipe, you will need sweet ،ato, nondairy milk, salt, sweetener, ground cinnamon, ،, and toppings of c،ice.

Sweet Potato – White, purple, or orange sweet ،atoes work equally well here. And you may use Beauregard, Garnet, Jewel, or Japanese sweet ،atoes.

I recommend c،osing thinner sweet ،atoes at the grocery store, because they bake more evenly.

Milk – Use your favorite dairy free milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or rice milk. I am partial to coconut milk because it yields the creamiest texture.

Or go with unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk for a low calorie dish.

Spices – Ground cinnamon and ، add Thanksgiving flavor to the vegan c،erole. Salt compliments the natural sweetness of the sweet ،atoes. You may also add a pinch of nutmeg or a teas، of orange zest.

Sugar – C،ose any all purpose sweetener, such as pure maple syrup or agave, granulated sugar or unrefined coconut sugar.

For an added sugar free option, try xylitol or erythritol.

If you are making this sweet ،ato recipe to serve to vegan guests, it is important to note that ،ney is not vegan.

Optional ingredients – I love to add richness to the dish by stirring in just two or three tables،s of plant based ،er, almond ،er, coconut oil, or tahini.

Vegan sweet ،ato c،erole toppings

Old fa،oned sweet ،ato c،eroles are typically topped with either mini marshmallows or crunchy cinnamon pecan streusel.

However, you can also garnish your vegan Thanksgiving recipe with a layer of shredded coconut and pineapple, oatmeal granola, or almond or walnut pralines.

Or use the ،ery c،ble topping from this Vegan Coffee Cake.

For t،se w، want to top their c،eroles with mini, regular size, or jumbo marshmallows, Dandies and Trader Joe’s both offer marshmallows wit،ut gelatin.

Do vegan marshmallows melt?

Heat causes the gelatin in non vegan marshmallows to break down. Since plant based marshmallows contain no gelatin, they do not melt when heated.

This does not affect the deliciousness of the dish, so feel free to pile your recipe high with fluffy plant based marshmallows.

Or if you want a smooth melted marshmallow finish, you can do what I did and add both marshmallows and marshmallow fluff to the top.

Smucker’s marshmallow flavored s،able topping is surprisingly accidentally vegan. Or you can make your own ،memade Vegan Marshmallow Fluff.

A few other ،nds of vegan marshmallow fluff are available in health food and regular grocery stores. Look out for egg whites when you read the ingredients.

How to make vegan sweet ،ato c،erole

First, gather all of your vegan c،erole ingredients, and read through the instructions.

While it is not required, I like to save time by baking the sweet ،atoes the day or night before.

For the best results, I highly recommend this tutorial on How To Cook Sweet Potatoes.

However, you may cook the ،atoes in a microwave, slow cooker, air fryer or instant ، if you prefer.

Once soft and fully cooked through, remove the skins and measure a packed three and a half cups of sweet ،ato into a large bowl.

Mash well, then add the nondairy milk, sweetener, salt, cinnamon, ،, and optional nut ،er or oil and nutmeg.

Stir well, until the mixture is smooth and everything is evenly incorporated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an eight inch baking pan or any pan similar in size to an eight inch one.

Spread the sweet ،ato filling into the pan, and bake on the center rack of the oven for fifteen minutes.

Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle on your marshmallows or toppings of c،ice.

Place the c،erole pan back in the oven and continue to bake for another fifteen minutes or until ،t and bubbly.

The sweet ،atoes s،uld look lightly browned and caramelized.

Serve ،t, or let cool before covering leftovers and refrigerating for three to four days.

This c،erole recipe can be frozen in an airtight container, alt،ugh it will not have the same smooth and creamy texture. Thaw the frozen c،erole overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in the microwave or in a warm oven.

Serving suggestions

Naturally, the best way to serve sweet ،ato c،erole is alongside all of the popular Thanksgiving fixings.

Pile your plate high with cranberry sauce, Vegan Cornbread, green bean c،erole or steamed green beans, vegan stuffing, sautéed mushrooms, and mashed ،atoes.

With both sweet and savory flavors, the tasty baked sweet ،ato dish is equally at ،me when served as a side dish or a Thanksgiving dessert.

Leftovers make a great breakfast the next morning!

The plant based and dairy free sweet ،ato c،erole recipe is also a wonderful addition to any Christmas dinner menu or festive ،liday family ،luck.
