Savory Sweet Potato Casserole
This Savory Sweet Potato Casserole will make you feel all warm inside, and you’ll be smiling the entire time you eat it.
Equipment
- 1.5 quart baking dish (for 6 servings) - I used a 9.5 x 6.5 inch oval dish
- 1 Medium Bowl
Ingredients
For the Casserole:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes about 40 oz.
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt I use the Diamond Crystal brand for this measurement
- Savory Oat Crumble recipe below
For the Savory Oat Crumble:
- ½ cup pecans roughly chopped
- ½ cup oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons minced sage
- 2 teaspoons minced rosemary
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the Casserole:
- Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and poke all over with a fork. Roast for 1 hour, or until completely cooked through. Let cool completely, then cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Discard the skins. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, melted butter, eggs, garlic powder, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and Kosher salt. Run until smooth.
- Spread sweet potato mixture evenly into a 1 ½ quart baking dish for 6 servings (I used a 9 ½ x 6 ½ inch oval dish). Sprinkle as much of the savory oat crumble over the sweet potatoes as you’d like (you may have a bit extra that you can freeze), covering it all.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the crumble is golden. Serve right when it comes out of the oven.
For the Savory Oat Crumble:
- Place all of the ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl. With your hands, mix until the butter is completely combined and pea-sized lumps form, and the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
