For most of my childhood, I thought I hated sweet potatoes. As it turns out, I just didn’t like my sweet potatoes with marshmallows. This easy dairy-free sweet potato casserole is just like the classic, but with a crispy topping instead of marshmallows.
This recipe is also fully tested vegan, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, and gluten-free. If you don’t need gluten-free, you might also like the oat crumble topping on our Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe. If you don’t need egg-free, I’ve got you covered with an egg option in the recipe notes.
