Even if meat is on the holiday spread, there\u2019s rarely anyone who turns down the Fletcher family yams.<\/p>\n<p>One of the special upsides of preparing sweet potatoes is that they\u2019re completely animal friendly. Not only are no animals involved in any of the preparation, but it\u2019s also completely egg and dairy free. No small feat, you can imagine, in a time of year known for eggnog and beef dishes. The other major upside to sweet potato preparations is that the ingredients list is pretty simple too. While they may take some time in your oven, cooking delicious sweet potatoes is never too complicated to do right.<\/p>\n<p><em>However<\/em>, it\u2019s important to find marshmallows that are gelatin-free. Many of the marshmallow brands are made with animal byproducts, and it\u2019s crucial you pre-purchase marshmallows that are made without harm to our animal cousins. Both <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetandsara.com\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Sweet and Sara<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagoveganfoods.com\/dandies_vegan_marshmallows\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Chicago Vegan Foods<\/a> make certified cruelty-free marshmallows.<\/p>\n<p>The dish my family always makes is a casserole- but don\u2019t let the name turn you off! Sweet potato casserole is delicious even if people put \u2018casserole\u2019 right next to \u2018fruit cake\u2019 on the holiday delicacy chart. The basic ingredients in any sweet potato casserole are as follows (I\u2019ll reference, for the most part, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/sweet-potato-casserole-ii-2\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">recipe guidelines<\/a> from All Recipes):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>5 sweet potatoes, sliced (typically no less than four large tubers to begin with)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup margarine<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup packed brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>Approx. 10-12 ounces of marshmallows (make sure they\u2019re milk &amp; gelatin free!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some recipes call for either additional vanilla flavoring, or even orange juice. The choice is all yours, and I recommend exploring recipe lists online for what best suit your tastes.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve squared away your ingredients list, the cooking process is simple and pretty universal:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees<\/li>\n<li>Place the pre-sliced sweet potatoes in a saucepan with enough water added to boil. Bring to a boil and cook until tenderized for about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>When done, remove the saucepan from the heat and drain the water. If you\u2019ve care to, mash the sweet potatoes as desired.<\/li>\n<li>Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl, and add the margarine, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use an electric mixer to blend the potatoes with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the potatoes evenly across a 9&#215;13 baking dish, and add place the marshmallows on top. \u00a0Bake the sweet potatoes in your preheated oven for about 30 minutes (or until the marshmallows have browned).<\/li>\n<li>Remove and let cool, then enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4211\" title=\"Sweet potato casserole\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/casserole1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/casserole1.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/casserole1-300x226.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remember, even if you or your relatives choose to eat meat during the holidays, there are always delicious meal alternatives.
