18 Substitutes for Pecans in Sweet Potato Casserole

The more the merrier! That's what we say when it comes to Thanksgiving, and that's especially true for the sweet potato casserole. More marshmallows (obvs), more brown sugar, more pecans.

You've got two options: omit them or substitute them! We know that people are very particular about their sweet potatoes, but we think you might be pleasantly surprised by some of these options!
