Homemade vegan sweet potato casserole, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner!

Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole
Both vegans and non vegans will love this version of the classic Thanksgiving dish – and there?s one secret baking trick that makes all the difference.

So What?s The Secret Baking Trick"
Most traditional sweet potato casserole recipes call for steaming the sweet potatoes separately, then piling on a ridiculous amount of butter and sugar?shockingly up to a full cup of sugar in some recipes?and baking the casserole in the oven. I think this is a huge mistake not only because it?s disgustingly unhealthy, but because it completely wastes the natural sweetness and flavor of the actual sweet potatoes.
The problem with leaning on fat and sugar as a crutch in baking is something I?ve mentioned before in my Pumpkin Cupcakes Recipe. It?s not challenging to make anything taste good if you use enough sugar, oil, or butter; but at the same time, the flavor will be disappointingly nondescript. This is especially unfortunate with something like sweet potato casserole because you have such an opportunity to take advantage of the vegetable?s ability to sweeten dishes naturally if cooked correctly. So that?s where the secret baking trick comes in:
DO NOT steam your sweet potatoes.

Seriously, don?t steam them.
Instead, you want to bake them in the oven at high heat, bringing out their natural sugar as they magically caramelize into an irresistible candy-like indulgence.
