Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Pecan Streusel

Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Vegan, Refined sugar free

As I’m preparing to host my first Thanksgiving this year, I have been planning every detail down to the tablescape and mimosas in the morning [we can’t be the only ones that request mimosas while cooking in the kitchen…right?]

Which brings me to my favorite part of the planning process… the MENU! While turkey and ham are staples, I think we can all agree that the real stars of the Thanksgiving table are the sides - and ohhh, do we have some delish sides!

I added a few new favorites to my menu this year, including these Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Pecan Streusel [*insert drooling emoji]

We brought this to a recent Friendsgiving event and they were a real hit! Im excited to share this fun twist on a Thanksgiving classic.
