10 Recipes for a Delicious Gluten-Free Thanksgiving

Sweet potato casserole

This sweet potato casserole has a crunchy, sweet pecan topping.

What you’ll need:

  • 5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, boiled until tender
  • 1 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 stick softened butter, divided
  • 3 Tbsp. your favorite gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

While your boiled potatoes are still hot, mash them. Put them in a large bowl, and add 1/2 cup brown sugar, eggs, 1/2 stick butter, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of milk.

Mix until smooth and move to a casserole baking dish.

In another bowl, combine the rest of the brown sugar and gluten-free flour. Add the rest of the butter, and combine until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the pecans, mix, and spread over the sweet potatoes.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or just until the top has browned slightly.
