Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 50-60 minutes until tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through.
  2. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Combine roasted sweet potatoes with almond milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, maple syrup, allspice, soaked raisins, and marshmallows. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Scoop the sweet potato mixture into the dish, spreading evenly, and dot with small pieces of butter.
  4. Mix pecans with maple syrup in a bowl and sprinkle over the sweet potato filling.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to set slightly.
