Sweet Potato Casserole turned whole food plant-based! This Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole has no marshmallows, but is still packed with flavor using only a few simple ingredients. This gluten-free and vegan dish is a Thanksgiving staple!
Sweet potato casserole is just an excuse to eat dessert at dinner. I mean, if you think about it, sweet potato casserole is the slightly healthier version of sweet potato pie.
The sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, and you add some maple syrup to make it even sweeter. So the dish ends up tasting like dessert. But I'm not mad. This vegan sweet potato casserole is delicious.
It's made with whole food plant-based ingredients like sweet potatoes, nut butter, maple syrup, and spices. And this gluten-free sweet potato casserole is topped with a simple pecan topping.
I won't tell anyone if you go back for seconds of this casserole when it's time for dessert!
Step 1. Steam the sweet potato until fork-tender. Let cool slightly.
Step 2. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash thoroughly.
Step 3. Stir in the maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 4. Spread the potato mixture into a casserole dish (I used this dish). Sprinkle the chopped pecans in an even layer onto the sweet potatoes. Drizzle evenly with maple syrup, then sprinkle with the salt.
Step 5. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!
Thank you God for this casserole. Thank your for this meal and our celebration of thanksgiving. Amen.
