Recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole

November 12, 2015 By Vanessa 1 Comment

Good thing my family loves sweet potatoes, because I’ve been testing and re-testing my sweet potato casserole recipe over the past couple weeks before Thanksgiving. They happily volunteered to be my guinea pigs and I haven’t heard any complaints (well, maybe about one recipe that won’t be posted here). We’ve made many healthy changes to our diets over the past year and while I still love to indulge in the occasional treat, we want to continue our new lifestyle through the holidays. I’ve cleaned up my sweet potato casserole recipe and discovered a healthier version. It’s also paleo and gluten free. And I promise that it tastes so yummy that you won’t even miss the old version! 

SWEET POTATO INGREDIENTS

5 Cups Sweet Potatoes (peeled & diced)
3 Tablespoons Ghee 
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk 
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

PECAN TOPPING INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Chopped Pecans
2 Tablespoons Ghee
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a baking dish with ghee. 

Step 2: Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Add to a large pot, cover with water and boil for 15 minutes or until tender.

Step 3: Drain water from sweet potatoes and add to a blender or food processor. Add the rest of the sweet potato ingredients (ghee, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon). Blend until ingredients are combined, but not liquid. 

Step 4: Put sweet potato ingredients in the greased baking dish.

Step 5: Combine pecan topping ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat before it reaches a boil.

Step 6: Add pecan topping over the sweet potato ingredients.

Step 7: Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the center is firm. Enjoy!

    I made a lazy version of this last night that was a hit with the whole flmaiy. I peeled and sliced the sweet potatoes and tossed them in a bowl with the melted butter and olive oil. Then I dipped the tops into a smaller bowl with the blend spices. I had to brush some of the mixture off to it wasn’t too thick, but then I placed them spice-up on the cookie sheet and baked them until they were done. Not as pretty as yours, but DELICIOUS! It was a trial-run for our mini-Thanksgiving tomorrow, with just my immediate flmaiy, when we’re doing a lot of the traditional Thanksgiving foods but with a twist. I know everybody will love them. Thanks for the great recipe!(PS: Doing it my lazy way did mean that the parchment stayed very clean and we had no issues with smoking or burning sugars. In fact we did have a little spiced candy drips on the paper that was fun to eat before I got started washing dishes.)
