Peel the cooked sweet potatoes, and blend the soft flesh with almond milk, olive oil, ground ginger, and salt. Layer and bake! Spread the creamy sweet potato mixture at the bottom of a greased casserole dish.

Sprinkle it with the crumble topping, and add a few whole pecans and sage leaves for garnish. Then, bake at ° until the topping is nicely browned and crisp, and enjoy! Serve it alongside stuffing , green bean casserole , mashed potatoes , homemade mac and cheese , or any of these delicious side dishes:.

What's the difference between paprika and smoked paprika? Both paprika and smoked paprika are made from dried chili peppers, but the difference between the two is that the peppers for smoked paprika are dried over smoke rather than air.

As you might guess, this gives smoked paprika a more intense, smokier flavor than mild, more neutral regular paprika. It may sound like an unusual addition to sweet potato casserole, but, combined with a pinch of cayenne, it perfectly balances the sweetness of the dish.

Is it better to boil or bake the sweet potatoes? For a deeper sweet potato flavor, roasting is the way to go. This recipe calls for roasting whole sweet potatoes for 50 to 60 minutes, until tender.

While this might seem like a lot of time, it's mostly hands-off. Plus, it's an easy step that can be done up to three days ahead.

Is sweet potato casserole supposed to be soupy? Not a chance! Some versions that you encounter may seem a little too runny. It could be because the sweet potatoes were initially boiled rather than baked.

Boiled sweet potatoes have a tendency to absorb water, which, in turn can make the casserole a little soupy. This recipe, however, calls for baking the sweet potatoes! You'll also find that this recipe doesn't add too much liquid to the mix. A little heavy cream, melted butter, and the addition of eggs meet in the middle to yield a light and fluffy filling.

Can you make sweet potato casserole ahead of time? You sure can! Making it ahead is great way to save time Thanksgiving morning. Can I make this sweet potato part the night before, and then add the topping on and bake it the next day?

My husband made this just this morning for his work Thanksgiving potluck. His coworkers raved about it and multiple people asked him for the recipe. Natasha, your recipes are amazing! Thank you for sharing them with us!

Does this recipe come out very sweet? My family tends to not like super sweet casseroles, if I decrease the sugar will it change the taste dramatically or should still be ok. I hope you love it! Most of the time I do not add sugar to the sweet potatoes mix since it is sweet enough for me; the sugar from the topping will be enough… I hope this helps….

Natasha, I just had to tell you, I made the Sweet Potato Soup and my husband loved it. Me too. I used sweet potatoes from my garden and it was wonderful. Definitely a keeper. Hi Natasha! I wonder if I can leave the sweet potatoes in small chunks or thin slices for this.

Hi Tina! You can definitely experiment with it. My Grand-daughter introduce me to sweet potatoes at xmas dinner and since then I loved them sure will be trying this recipe soon.

i used real fresh cranberries, and i even added crushed pineapple to the topping. this is total bomb!!!!!! next time i may add a little bourbon to take it to the next level. going by the last name,,Russian? we Slavs know our way in the kitchen i know!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Ingrid! I made the Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecans for Thanksgiving and everyone totally loved it! I omitted the cranberries, still wonderful. Keep those recipes coming Natasha, I so enjoy your videos!

Thank you. So enjoy your recipes, very professional and entertaining! I only use your site now as I thoroughly your videos and I know your recipes are top class. I made the roasted sweet-potato-casserole for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Keep going lovely Natasha 😍. and it was quite a hit with my family!

This dish will most definitely be added to my Thanksgiving and other holiday recipes! That sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving meal! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Camille!

Thank you for sharing this recipe, I love your channel. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! I followed the recipe but only left out the pecans due to allergy and it was still yummy.

This was so good, Natasha! Even better than I thought it would be. It really is a great combination of a side dish and a dessert. Now instead of waiting to print the recipes until after I make them, I often just print them out before, because I know they will be good.

I am so glad I found your website. Your videos are very fun and helpful, too. Thank you, Natasha! I made this sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving and it was a real hit!

I will definitely be making it again! I just realised I beat the eggs butter sugar into the beaten potatoes, will they be over beaten — and could it cause a different texture?

I like to bake my sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. I think they are sweeter that way. Love this recipe!! I enjoy your recipes so much so does my family. I was if putting marshmallows on top would be good also. But so excited to try this new recipe thank you so much!

Question… why is it better to use unsalted butter in regular and sweet potatoes instead of salted? Hi Paula, I use unsalted butter for baking not only because I can control the salt content, but salted butter has additional moisture in it compared to unsalted.

I think this would still work with salted butter, but you would want to omit the salt. Im not a good cook but trying and doing most of your recipes makes me feel im a better cook now in our households.

And my son really loves it. especially this breakfast quesadilla and this mashed potato new version of yours and for my mom is the greek salad. Thankyou so much for sharing your recipes maam. I love and support you all the way here at Philippines 🇵🇭.

My family has made this recipe for years. Thank you for so many wonderful recipes!! Like another recent commenter here, I bake my sweet potatoes, rather than boil them, the day before I need to make the dish.

After baking the sweet potatoes in the oven, I let them cool then put them in the fridge overnight. The next morning, the skins peel right off with very little effort. Pro Tip: Place the whole baked sweet potatoes in a bowl or plastic bag, as a sticky syrupy liquid will seep out while they cool.

It is still plenty sweet. That way you have more of the potato taste. I also add a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Good suggestion V Shipp. I made this for the first time and while the flavor was delicious, the sweet potatoe filling turned out a bit dry.

I was careful to measure all ingredients. Not sure where I went wrong. Hi Rita, make sure if using more potatoes that you increase the remaining ingredients proportionally.

I hope that helps. I make my sweet potato casserole much the same way you do, except for one difference. When microwaving them. I puncture them several times with an ice pick, then slather each with vegetable oil and wrap each tightly in waxed paper before microwaving them.

This gives them a very moist cooked, silky, concentrated sweetness that I have never been able to capture any other way. The very best sweet potato to use is an orange-red color of potato. We bought a bunch and had the best sweet potato casserole, sweet potato pie, just plain ole baked sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, you name it, I cooked them!

Everything was really great! Love your casserole recipe too! So nice to know that, thank you so much for sharing your process with us.

Definitely a very useful information! Definitely very useful information! Thx for your recipes which have been my secret to proving a guy in Greece can cook too.

Thx once again. I had issues, making the recipes. I followed the instructions. And the food came out really bad. Hi Justin, what do you mean it came out really bad? Could you explain it a bit more with the important details? Hi What can I substitute the regular sugar with in the casserole and what would be the amount?

e honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, etc Thank you. Easy to adapt to a sugar free, grain free version. I used brown sugar swerve. In baking custard type fillings you MUST use erythritol swerve or granular Allulose or your custard will crystallize. I also used a grain free maple almond granola, the tbsp butter and 1 cup chopped pecans.

Used my clean hands to rub it all in. Yummy tasting topping for folks that refrain from flour. My husband didnt even miss the marshmallows and he liked the cranberries too! Will make this every year! This was the first time I made sweet potato casserole and I used this recipe!

It was delicious. i used my Instant Pot to cook the potatoes.. no dicing or peeling needed. I left out the cranberries. The topping was sooo delicious. Another recipe from you that is spot on and super yummy! Hello Elizabeth, I am so glad to know that you loved this recipe!

Thank you for sharing your great experience with us, we appreciate it and I hope that you will love every recipe that you will try. Fantastic recipe, absolute hit on our Thanksgiving dinner! I only had enough sweet potatoes for half the recipe, so I used a half size dish and baked it a little less about 30 min.

I made this to go with our thanksgiving dinner yesterday…absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe! Thank you for your good comments and feedback Mrs. Using the mixer made the texture of the casserole so light fluffy. Thank you Natasha for all of your awesome recipes!!

I made this last year, minus the dried cranberries, and it was a huge hit! Do I need to adjust the cook time? Does this recipe reheat well? I was planning on making it in the AM before the turkey is put in the oven then popping it back in the oven to reheat.

Hi Britt, I have not baked it halved, so I cannot advise on the time. This recipe does reheat really well! I confirm — we used half the recipe and half the size of the baking dish.

It was perfect in 30 minutes! Will be making this tomorrow for Thanksgiving and am so excited to see how it turns out! Also, my 3 year old girl adores you! Love this recipe! I love this recipe but need to scale it down this year. What would the conversion be for 2 people?

Thank You! Hi Rosemary, if you click on the servings in the recipe card, you can scale the ingredients list up or down which should help. My son has a severe peanut and tree nut All Nuts allergy.

What other ingredient s could I use in place of the pecans? Thank you!! Hi Natasha, Quick question…can baked bananas be added to the sweet potato mix? If yes then do I cut down the quantity of sweet potato?

Replace 2 bananas for 1 sweet potato? So looking forward to trying the recipe for Thanks giving. Will definitely review it. Tried a couple of ur recipes recently and all of them were a hit.

Will ereview them too. Hi Saba, I have not tried this with a banana to truly advise. If you test this out, I would love to know how you like that! The only difference is, I usually bake my sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. They peel very easily after being baked, and then you just mash them right up.

Sounds great too! The taste should not make a difference, depends on the other ingredients that you will use for the recipe. Yes, you can freeze it. I we just love your recipes. Yours never fail me.

Thank you so much for sharing. Made your meatballs again last night. Would love a cookbook of yours. Where could I order one? Have a great day. You are most welcome, Marva. I am still working on a cookbook, hopefully, I can complete and share it with you all soon!

hi in the list of ing. it says 5 tbsp melted butter but in the instructions it says 6 tbsp butter it probably doesnt matter as it would jut make potatoes moe buttery…yum Thanks. Hello Carol, yes you can. You can adjust it so the ingredients will be adjusted too. Hi awesome recipes.

I cut the recipe down to 4 servings but i dont understand the measurements Sorry. Please advise. Hi Pearle, this weight chart can also help. It sounds delicious! Just earlier, I tried your sweet potato casserole recipe and it tastes really good.

I used almond instead but it still tastes great. I am so glad that you loved this recipe even without the pecans! My family has been making this recipe for years with slightly different amounts of the same ingredients except the craisins.

It is really delicious and special to my family each year. Hi Sarah. Made your sweet potato casserole for Christmas dinner. Was a big hit ,delicious and so easy. Not a crumb left! Thanks for an easy and delicious new recipe that is sure to become a family favorite.

I made the sweet potato casserole for Christmas Eve family dinner and it was a HIT. There was not a bite left. It will now be my go to sweet potato casserole for every holiday.

Hi Natasha. I made this sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. My daughter actually requested that I make it for Christmas Eve to go with the ham. Thank you for all your great recipes. I have arthritic hands and peeling the hard sweet potatoes is impossible.

Would canned sweet potatoes work? it may be worth experimenting though. I think it could still work with well-drained canned sweet potatoes. Please let me know if you test that out. you could microwave the sweet potatoes in that potato bag or just like a baked potato-it comes out nice and moist and then easy peasy to peal and cut up skipping the boiling water and then go ahead with the rest of the recipe and easy on the hands.

I make a similar recipe which calls for baking the sweet potatoes, then split and scoop out with a spoon. Carole, try cooking the sweet potatoes in the oven, let them cool and then scoop the meat out. That is a much easier way than peeling them. It works great. H I Carole, I f you rub the potatoes with vegetable oil and wrapping them in foil before baking them in a ° oven, the peeling will slip right off with ease.

I use canned for the same reason. I drain sweet potatoes very well and I cut back on the sugar to at least one half the amount.

Made this recipe for Thanksgiving this year and it was an absolute hit! There were no leftovers and everyone asked for the recipe. Made your mashed potato recipe last year as well and got the same response.

Thank you Natasha. Thank you for sharing that awesome feedback and review with us! I pretty much cooked the Thanksgiving dinner using your recipes for the Turkey,the turkey gravy and the green beans. I love al your recipes,thank you! Just wow! This was amazing.

I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone was reluctant to try it because we have never had sweet potato casserole before. Everyone, including my super picky husband, loved it. Will be making again for Christmas! It was so easy to make this and absolutely delicious. I had it in the print-friendly recipe but not at the top.

Thank you so much for pointing that out. Hi Natasha, Looks fabulous, is there a substitute for the flour, grandma is Gluten free? Hi Kathy, I would suggest using a gluten-free flour to substitute to keep this a gluten-free sweet potato casserole.

What do you think the cooking time should be? I will prepare in advance so it will be baked cold. Love your recipes!

Hi Doreen, I have not baked it halved so I cannot advise on the time. If you use half the size of baking dish and the casserole is the same height, you would bake for about the same amount of time maybe 5 minutes less. Thanks Natasha!

Wish me luck on the egg and a half! Happy Holidays! One of my favorite Sweet Potato Casseroles is to drain large can of juice from a pineapple can rings and mix the juicewith sour cream 1 sm. Layer slices into a casserole dish, pour sour cream mixture, sprinkle brown sugar, and top with crushed or rings of pineapple.

Repeat layers and bake at degrees until sour cream mixture looks like a puffy cream and dish is slightly toasted on top or until fully baked approx. You may need 2 large cans of pineapple, 1-rings for top, 1- chunks or crushed for layers. Our family tradition for Sweet Potato Casserole!

My recipe is similar and also delicious. Will have to try it with the berries. Where did you get that 9×13 dish I love it!! Hi Mindy, we used this pan here. Hello Natasha!
