Not all sweet potato casseroles are created equal. This delicious combination is full of flavor, simple to make and won't leave with a taste of regret later. I wanted to try adding this dish to my meal prep this week but this casserole is great for a friendsgiving or family dinner. The hint of maple syrup compliments the walnut topping perfectly and the shredded coconut adds a whole new element to this sweet combination.
Get creative with this recipe and swap out walnuts for pecans or add some dried fruit to the mix. I know I could barely keep myself from eating this right away and I'm sure you'll be anxiously awaiting your next bite of this yummy goodness.
