Ingredient Substitutions

Sweet potatoes. Any variety of sweet potato works well in this recipe, classic orange is pictured here, but both purple and white sweet potatoes can be used! Yams are also a totally delicious substitution for sweet potatoes!
Salted butter. unsalted butter, coconut oil, olive oil, ghee and avocado oil can all be used in place of coconut oil. However, please be mindful of the way the taste/texture of the oil will change the overall taste of the dish.
Maple syrup. Use pure maple syrup (no artificial substitutes). Honey can also be used, however the maple syrup adds such a rich fall flavor that I don't recommend switching it out.

Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave - or in the oven to restore crispiness.
