Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 cups sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 1 tsp nutmeg (ground)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp ghee (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (for topping)
  • 1 tsp sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes

    Boil sweet potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Check with a fork to ensure they are soft.
  3. Mash the sweet potatoes

    Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a large bowl.

    Use a potato masher for a smooth consistency.
  4. Mix in remaining ingredients

    Stir in coconut milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

    Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  5. Prepare the topping

    In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans, coconut flour, ghee, and optional maple syrup and sea salt.

    Make sure the topping is crumbly.
  6. Assemble the casserole

    Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the topping evenly over it.

    Spread it out to cover all the sweet potatoes.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

    Check halfway to prevent over-browning.
  8. Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole!

    Pairs well with a fresh salad.
