Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole

Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole in a baking dish made with cranberries, maple syrup, pecans and pumpkin seeds
  • Serves:  10
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  1 hr

Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted (we like Nature's way), plus more for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ⅛-inch thick rounds (about 2½ pounds)
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup candied ginger
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the center position. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with coconut oil.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add sweet potato slices and toss to coat.

  3. Arrange the sweet potatoes in stacks. Place the stacks on their side, and place them in the prepared baking dish, filling the pan. Sprinkle all over with the pumpkin seeds, ginger, cranberries, and pecans, tucking some of the ingredients between slices. Drizzle with maple syrup.

  4. Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, 50-60 minutes, covering the baking dish with foil if the potatoes are browning too quickly.


Note: If you have one, use a mandolin to get those even, thin slices!
