Healthy Vegan? Thanksgiving Recipe – Vegan Baked Sweet Potato
Eating vegan doesn’t have to mean missing out on big flavor. Here’s the perfect Thanksgiving recipe to prove it.
Happy Holidays everyone! This is a time for cheers and reuniting with some who may have not seen all year. As we know vegetarianism and veganism are on the rise as we gain more clarity on the climate and other impacts of food farming and become more knowledgeable on how food works in our bodies affecting, not only each one of our cells, but our energy and vibration as well.
I wanted to share with you my Latino vegan recipe that will make sure you have any and all of your guests covered.
INGREDIENTS
5 sweet potatoes (your choice if peeled or unpeeled)
1 or 2 red onions (depending on size)

Bake for 20 minutes
Step 5
Use the remaining olive oil to coat the rest of the veggies

And a quick tip to have more easy vegan options is to make mashed potatoes using butter free bread, garlic, chives, and olive oil instead of butter. You can also make a separate batch of stuffing without the turkey drippings and using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. And don’t forget to have salad – you can have any green salad or make vegan potato salad without eggs and with egg-free mayonnaise!
