With Thanksgiving just around the corner, here is an easy recipe for Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole (with Candied Pecan Topping).  A stress-free, super easy-to-make sweet potato casserole that is a gluten-free and dairy-free recipe for special holidays or everyday occasions!  Even better are recipes that can be made ahead!

Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole:

Adding Organic Sweet Potatoes To Your Diet:

Changing my diet to grain, gluten and dairy-free required effort. I still get to have the most scrumptious brownies and truffles.

What would I do without this amazing Paleo breakfast casserole on busy days?

Once the cold weather hits, Crockpot Turkey Chili goes on the menu.

And sweet potatoes also make a great smoothie!

And luckily, this side dish is very transportable and makes great leftovers.  The organic sweet potatoes in the grocery store have been ginormous lately, so I used 2 extra-large.  I prefer buying the larger size because they seem easier to peel.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 organic sweet potatoes
  • maple syrup
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground nutmeg
  • vanilla extract
  • fine sea salt
  • coconut sugar

For the candied pecans topping:

  • raw pecans
  • maple syrup

I used 2/3 cup of raw pecans, but you could use 1 cup to completely cover the top of your casserole.  I only had 2/3 cup of pecans on hand, so that is what I went with and it worked fine.

Awesome Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes:

Sweet potatoes are a great source of:

  1. Vitamins especially A and C, B vitamins
  2. Beta-carotene
  3. antioxidants
  4. anti-inflammatory nutrients

Sweet potatoes are purple, orange, or white-fleshed.  Yams are an acceptable substitution for use in this recipe.

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (sub other non-dairy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  3. Drain water and add to an electric mixer with almond milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sea salt. Mix until combined and to your preferred consistency.

  4. Spray a casserole dish with spray oil ( I use coconut oil) and pour sweet potatoes into the dish and smooth top.
  5. In a cast iron skillet (or small pan), spray lightly with coconut oil, add the raw pecans, maple syrup on medium-low and mix with a spoon for about 30 seconds to 1-minute coating all the pecans with maple syrup.
  6. Pour pecans onto a baking sheet with parchment, spread out in one layer and let cool.
