Sweet potato casserole recipe?


Not so much a casserole, but cubed sweet potatoes and turnips and beets, marinated for a while in orange juice (or even orange Crystal Light) and a little olive oil, then oven roasted...mmm. The roasting brings out the natural sugar in the root veggies and they taste fantastic. If you can tolerate nuts, tossthem with a few roasted pine nuts 4-5 minutes before serving these.

Harvest Pecan Casserole
4 medium sweet poatos, peeled, cooked (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/2 - 1 can of pumpkin puree
1/2 to 1 C. Fat Free Sour Cream
1 tsp. Vanilla
5 1/2 tsp. Splenda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground AllSpice
1/4 cup coarsly chopped pecans
Directions: Mash sweet potatoes with tater masher or beat with electric mixer until smooth (I used a food processor), mix in remaining ingrediants except pecans. Spoon mixture into an ungreased 1 qt casserole or souffle dish; sprinkle with pecans. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until hot throughout, about 30 min.
Suggested Alteration: You can add flavorless protein powder after baking to this to boost the protein, just add a touch of vanilla and a packet of splenda for every scoop of protein powder that you add!
