TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 45 min. YIELD: 16 servings.
Sweet potatoes take a different twist in this whipped side dish that pairs them with carrots. Subtly sweet, it has just a hint of garlic, while the nut and crumb topping adds a fun crunch to any holiday meal. —Diane Molberg, Calgary, Alberta
