Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, toss with olive oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then roast for 50-60 minutes until tender.
  2. Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Combine roasted sweet potatoes with almond milk, vanilla extract, butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and any spices or raisins. Mix until some are mashed, leaving chunks for texture.
  3. Grease a 9x13 baking dish, pour in the sweet potato mixture, and spread evenly. Scatter remaining marshmallows and small pieces of butter over the top.
  4. Mix pecans with a drizzle of maple syrup, ensuring they are well-coated, and distribute over the casserole.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until the topping is golden and marshmallows are melted.
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

For best results, cover the casserole during the first half of baking to avoid over-browning of the marshmallows. Customize spices to your taste and feel free to make it a day ahead.
