    A simpler take on sweet potato casserole

    Carrots and sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness to this casserole recipe — no need for added sweeteners!

    Roasting the carrots and sweet potatoes together saves time and dishes. Plus, roasted carrots release even more lightly caramelized flavor, making this simple casserole recipe a must-make for holiday gatherings or fuss-free meal prep.

    You can top this carrot and sweet potato casserole with candied pecans, toasted pecans, parsley, or nothing at all. It's all up to you!

    Can I prep this in advance?

    Sure can! Just follow the instructions through step 5. After processing both the carrots and sweet potatoes and mixing them together, just refrigerate until about an hour before servings.

    While the oven preheats, spoon the mixture into the casserole dish(es). Then just add 10 minutes to the bake time to ensure the casserole isn't cold in the middle.

    Does this casserole keep in the fridge?

    This easy casserole recipe keeps well in the fridge, so it makes great leftovers. But if you're serving it at a holiday gathering or dinner party, I woulnd't expect to have much left over!

    It'll keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    Description

    Top this simple carrot and sweet potato casserole with pecans, parlsey, or a drizzle of coconut milk. This recipe feeds a crowd and makes great leftovers!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 3 large sweet potatoes
    • 1 pound carrots (about 4-5 large carrots)
    • 3 tablespoons ghee or butter
    • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • Pecans, for topping (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
    2. Place sweet potatoes and carrots on the baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes. Check to see if the carrots are cooked through; if they are, remove them from the baking sheet and continue baking the sweet potatoes for another 20 minutes, until fully cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
    3. Once sweet potatoes have cooled a bit, peel off and discard the skin.
    4. Add carrots and ghee to a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. No need to clean out the food processor, as you’ll be using it again.
    5. Add the sweet potato flesh to the food processor along with coconut milk, lemon zest, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Process until smooth. Add to the bowl that the carrot mixture is in and stir with a spatula until fully mixed.
    6. Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with pecans. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Serve warm!
