4.3 167 Published Nov 08, 2022, Updated Nov 07, 2024 Growing up my mom made sweet potato casserole three times a year (Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter) and I was always so pumped to have it. Using my mom’s sweet potato casserole recipe as a guide I was able to make a healthy version that’s filled with better-for-you ingredients. My mom’s recipe uses canned yams, white sugar, white flour, eggs and butter. With a few small tweaks I was able to make a healthier, EBF-approved version that still has all the flavor and texture of the classic version I grew up with. And let me tell ya, we might even prefer this version a tiny bit more than my mom’s, but we’ll keep that a secret! I know some folks prefer a marshmallow topping instead of the brown sugar topping. If you’re team marshmallow, feel free to try my classic sweet potato casserole instead.
Main entree – This healthy sweet potato casserole pairs perfectly with a holiday main like roast turkey or a cozy, plant-based lentil loaf . The creamy, savory-sweet flavors make it a match for either option! Other sides – Sweet potato casserole fits right in with classic sides like, green bean casserole, mashed cauliflower, vegan cornbread, butternut squash quinoa stuffing, wild rice stuffing or cranberry sauce. Salads – Add a fresh, seasonal salad to balance the rich flavors. The casserole is delicious with my roasted butternut squash salad or kale and brussels sprout salad. Roasted vegetables – Complete your holiday plate with roasted veggies like maple roasted kabocha squash, roasted carrots or roasted root vegetables Dessert – Wrap up the meal with a classic dessert! My healthy apple crisp, pecan pie brownies, vegan chocolate pie or vegan pumpkin pie bring the perfect sweet ending to your holiday feast.
I don’t recommend freezing it because the consistency would likely change.
