Cook Notes
For a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of marshmallows or omit them entirely and focus on the natural sweetness of the potatoes and raisins.
Variations
- Vegan Version: Use maple syrup instead of honey and opt for vegan marshmallows.
- Nut-Free: Omit the pecans and add a crunchy topping of oats mixed with a little brown sugar and vegan butter.
Keto Version
Substitute sweet potatoes with a lower-carb option like mashed cauliflower and use a keto-friendly sweetener in place of agave or honey.
Low-Carb Version
Similar to the keto version, replacing sweet potatoes with cauliflower and adjusting sweeteners can make this dish more suitable for low-carb diets.
