While it still tastes indulgent, it is made a little healthier.  I am very pleased with the way it came out.  I am a lover of all things sweet potato if you haven’t guessed by now!

If you love sweet potatoes as well, you will love my sweet potato chili and my sweet potato cookies.

I know pepitas are not normally an ingredient in the traditional casserole, but I added them for an extra boost of protein.  They also add great color to the dish.

This sweet potato casserole is vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly.  It also has no oil!

    1. I tried something totally different with sweet potatoes not too long ago - a savory sweet potato salad with onions, bell peppers and jalapeños (among other things). It was amazingly good to see these on the dark side, and even made pan fried with coconut oil, curry and salt! Who knew they could be amazing without sugar, syrup or marshmallows!
      1. You can make coconut cream from coconut milk. Just refrigerate the canned coconut milk, scrape off the fatty part, and whip into a cream.
