My kids love sweet potatoes. They’re a go-to side dish for family dinners. Not only are they delicious, but they’re good for us and easy to make.

The boiled sweet potatoes are mashed until smooth and then mixed with ghee butter and coconut milk, to create an easy and quick side, that doesn’t take up oven space. Plus boiling them makes them extra soft, smooth and creamy.

I might say that this easy mashed sweet potato recipe is one of the easiest paleo side dishes you can make. It just takes time to peel the sweet potatoes, mash them and blend in the ingredients.

Even on a busy weeknight, easy mashed sweet potatoes are so quick to put together, full of wholesome deliciousness and great as a side dish. And, making mashed sweet potatoes paleo doesn’t require anything special – just use ghee instead of butter.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes are still too high carb for a low carb diet, but excellent for a paleo diet. They happen to be whole30 friendly, too.

Many paleo and gluten-free followers eat them with no problems at all because they are a nutritional powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamin A and B6, packed with iron, magnesium, and fiber.

It’s hard to believe that March has already arrived, heralding the approach of spring. It feels surreal, especially as I gaze out at another snowstorm.

Whip up this delightful four-ingredient sage and onion stuffing in just 30 minutes! Perfect as a sumptuous side for Christmas dinner or any roast meal, this recipe gets a flavor boost from the inclusion of red onion.

Gone are the days when stuffing was non-vegan, traditionally made from poultry giblets. This sage and onion stuffing recipe is a modern, completely vegan twist on the classic.

While pre-made vegan sage and onion stuffing options are available, with even traditional brands like Paxo offering ‘accidentally vegan’ products, always double-check the packet for hidden ingredients like milk powder.

However, nothing beats the taste of homemade stuffing. Not only is it more flavorful, but it’s also surprisingly simple to make, offering more satisfaction than any store-bought packet could.

10. Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe with Lemon Vinaigrette

Experience the delight of this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad, a culinary creation featuring finely sliced Brussels sprouts, tender chopped kale, grated carrots, roast potatoes, juicy pomegranate seeds, sweet candied pecans, and smooth avocado, all beautifully mingled in a zesty lemon shallot dressing.

Raw Brussels sprouts are absolutely edible and enjoyable. Their crunchy, fibrous texture becomes more palatable when thinly sliced.

There are several ways to shave or shred Brussels sprouts: using a knife, mandoline, food processor, or even a cheese grater. After experimenting with all these methods, my preferred choice is using a paring knife for its precision and control. The food processor and mandoline are also effective, but I find the cheese grater less suitable due to its instability and less sharp blades.

To prepare the Brussels sprouts, start by washing each one under cool water. Then, trim off the tough base and discard any damaged outer leaves.
