Introducing, the (not so) sweet potato casserole—perfect for anyone who craves something that skews more savory. We replaced the marshmallows with a mix of buttery breadcrumbs, toasty pecans, and fresh herbs for a side that’s far from traditional, and all about contrast and texture. When one of our coworkers tried it, she said it tasted like “sweet potatoes topped with stuffing, in the best way.”

Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown-Sugared Pecans
