Ingredients

Sweet Potato Filling

  • 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled, large chunks
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt Kosher
  • 2 Tbsp orange zest zest of 1 orange
  • 1 tsp miso yellow

Walnut Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 oz unsalted vegan butter cut into ½-inch pieces, chilled
  • 1 cup walnut pieces
  • 10 oz vegan mini marshmallows (1 bag)

Instructions

How to Make Sweet Potato Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potato, and season generously with kosher salt.
  • Bake until very soft and tender.
  • Gently heat the plant milk until just warm.
  • Place the orange zest and miso into the milk, and mix to combine.
  • Place the hot sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Using a potato masher start to mash the sweet potatoes. Add the warm plant, and continue to mash until smooth.
  • Add additional plant milk if needed, a large whisk is a handy way to mash and whip simultaneously.
  • Finish with a dash of olive oil and salt.

How to Make Walnut Topping

  • Combine the light brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Cut the cold vegan butter into the flour mixture, and continue until a cornmeal texture is reached. It is okay if a few large clumps of butter are present.
  • Add the walnut piece, and stir to combine.
  • Keep cold until it's time to cover the sweet potato puree.

How to Build the sweet potato casserole

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Drizzle a light layer of oil on the bottom of 12 inch cast iron pan.
  • Spread the sweet potato pure in the pan.
  • Evenly spread the walnut crumble over the top.
  • Cook until the crumbs is crispy and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the mini marshmallow over the top and brown under the broiler. This happens fast to stay alert.
