Sweet Potato Casserole is a beloved dish often associated with Southern and American cuisine, especially during holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving. Typically, it features mashed sweet potatoes sweetened with ingredients like brown sugar, maple syrup, or marshmallows, and sometimes enriched with butter or cream. Topped with a crunchy layer of pecans, oatmeal, or more marshmallows, it strikes a balance between dessert and savory side dish. Sweet potatoes themselves are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, making them a highly nutritious base. However, the additional sweeteners, butter, and sugary toppings can significantly increase the calorie and sugar content, reducing its overall health profile. Opting for reduced sugar or lighter toppings can create a more balanced dish without sacrificing flavor.
