Toasted Coconut-Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole

Favorite Brand Name Best-Loved Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, and Squash Recipes, p. 164

2 cans (15 ounces each) sweet potatoes in heavy syrup, drained

½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened

¼ cup packed brown sugar

 1 egg

½ teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped pecans

¼ cup flaked coconut

2 tablespoons golden raisins

Preheat oven to 325F. Spray 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and salt in food processor or blender; process until smooth. Spoon into prepared baking dish; sprinkle with pecans, coconut and raisins.

It's a wonderfully spreadable consistency.


Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until heated through and coconut is lightly browned.

Done!

Plated with some rice for a filling meat-free meal!

My Rating: 5/5 "This is magnificent. It's so magnificent I don't know how to put it into words. It's nice fall flavors from the sweet potatoes and brown sugar, but the coconut and raisins add a nice fresh tropical vibe - and those two moods go surprisingly well together. I can't stress enough that you should make this."
