Healthy Vegan? Thanksgiving Holiday Recipe – Vegan Baked Sweet Potato

by Johanna Godinez

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 a 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)
5 garlic cloves minced
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
3 tbsp of olive oil
And you can add to taste: Rosemary, salt and pepper or other hers such as thyme

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees

Step 2

Chop potatoes into 1” cubes

Cut onion in half and slice into thin long strips
Slice Peppers into ½ inch thick strips
Mince Garlic

Step 3

Mix minced garlic with the olive oil
Use 2/3 of the olive oil to coat the potatoes
Add salt and pepper to taste

Step 4

Bake for 20 minutes

Step 5

Use the remaining olive oil to coat the rest of the veggies

Step 6

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!
