Butternut & Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole
Ingredients
Casserole
- 2 15 oz. cans Farmer's Market Organic Sweet Potato Puree
- 1 15 oz. can Farmer's Market Organic Butternut Puree
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar add more or less depending on how sweet you want the casserole!
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Pecan Topping
- 1 cup pecans chopped roughly
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 pinch cinnamon and nutmeg each
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 F, and prepare a medium sized baking dish.
-
While oven is preheating, prepare the pecan topping by heating a skillet over medium low heat. Toast the pecans until fragrant and warm, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful that the pecans don't burn or brown! After toasted, add butter, maple syrup, sugar, and spices, stirring constantly to ensure none of the sticky mixture sticks to the pan. Once all the nuts are coated, remove from pan and let cool.
-
Mix together Sweet Potato Puree, Butternut Puree, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg until completely combined.
-
Pour Sweet Potato and Butternut mixture into baking dish, and spread pecans evenly over the top of the mixture. Alternatively, mix them in with the mixture!
-
Top the entire dish with marshmallows, and bake for 10 - 15 minutes checking every 2 minutes once the 10 minute mark has passed. Be careful as marshmallows can burn quickly. Let cool for 5 minutes, and serve immediately.
