Apple Cider Sweet Potato Casserole
I am a hardcore lover of sweet potatoes...but somehow, I rarely use them in sweet dishes 😱 Such as in breakfast tacos 🌮 But this sweet potato casserole never disappoints 🙌🏽 Especially with the extra kick of Apple Cider 😉 It also happens to be vegan with some vegan marshmallows from Trader Joe’s 👌🏼 It’s freakin’ perfect & delish 😍
