Sweet potatoes are a popular ingredient in fall recipe favorites including this Thanksgiving staple. Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrient, but like many other holiday recipes, sweet potato casserole can be loaded with calories. This version is a healthier and gluten-free take on the classic Thanksgiving side dish. The sweet potatoes provide a natural sweetness, so added sugar isn't necessary, but if you'd like an extra hint of sweetness, you can add maple syrup to the mix. And to add a little crunch to this tasty casserole, we're topping it with crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

3 pounds sweet potatoes (try to find ones that are about the same size, so they cook evenly)
1.5 cups of raw pecan pieces, divided
0.25 cup maple syrup (optional)
