Here’s why you’ll love this vegan sweet potato casserole:

What is Nature’s Way Immune Powder?
The not-so-secret ingredient in this vegan sweet potato casserole is Nature’s Way Immune Powder. This powder harnesses the benefits of six diverse mushrooms to support your immune function.* The mushrooms utilized in this powder are:
Maitake
Reishi
Enokitake
Shiitake
Chaga
Himematsutake
The most common ones that you’ll recognize from the list above are shiitake and chaga. Chaga is a superfood loaded with a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.. Shiitake mushrooms have been known to boost your immunity, along with a long list of other benefits.* Mushrooms, in general, are full of nutrients and that’s why this Immune Powder is so great to add to any recipe in order to make sure that you keep your immunity up all winter.* You can also buy their Immune Blend in capsule form as well.
Feeling our best can be challenging during the winter months, so finding ingredients that can be added to savoury dishes like this can help make sure you stay in tip-top shape all winter long. Most people only think of these sorts of powders to be added in hot drinks, but they can be great in a ton of different dishes like soups, stews, casseroles, etc.
Tips to make this vegan sweet potato casserole:
Use a mandolin to cut the potatoes, this makes for more even cooking and it’s much much quicker! (Be careful though, those suckers are sharp!)
Pre-make the spice blend to save time
I like leaving the skin on the potatoes, just be sure to wash them well and dry before cutting
Top with fresh aromatic herbs like thyme, sage or rosemary for serving – this adds that perfect touch of green
Be patient when baking and make sure to cook for at least one hour
This super tasty vegan sweet potato casserole will help boost your immunity, plus is loaded with flavor from the spice blend.

Notes
This spice rub is delicious, great for roasting veggies, tofu, beans and more! If you’re not vegan you can also try this spice blend on your choice of protein but I highly suggest trying with veggies for that added flavour and caramelization.
Definitely tried this out because of the beautifully taken photo. Roasting recipes are great when I’m too lazy to full on prepare and cook something, and this recipe was so delicious! The crunchy, soft, savory, and sweet all blended together wonderfully. The mandoline slices is really what made the recipe unique. I am definitely trying that with different veggies next time.
Amazing cookies! Chewy, rich, brownie-like—- little circles of Christmas joy! Enjoyed my non-vegans as well! I rolled some in crushed peppermint candy canes and that was yummy too! Every recipe is always a winner, packed with flavor and thought put into every ingredient.
Perfect side dish for a cozy winter meal!
