A delicious classic, this Paleo Sweet Potato casserole is the perfect side dish for the holidays, with simple and wholesome ingredients.

Paleo Sweet potato casserole is the new addition to our Thanksgiving menu. Originally from Romania, my family embraced all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes except for this one. The sweet potato casserole never made an appearance at our table durning the holidays, and I am not sure if it’s because it is somehwere in between a side dish and dessert or just foreign to my parents. As an adult however it has been brought over by my brother-in-law and I have fallen in love with it in the last few years. Although I have seen many different versions, this one is quite simple and at the same time perefect for anyone with a food sensistivity. It is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar free and of course Paleo! This Paleo Sweet Potato casserole is a Thanksgiving classic that is sure to be loved and enjoyed by the entire family
