Just letting you know thisSweet Potato Spaghetti Casserole recipe was originally published in 2015. I retested, rephotographed, updated content. Now I am republishing it for you today! I hope you enjoy. Thank you for following Cotter Crunch Y’all!.

I think I mentioned this before, but did you know that I grew up in a house full of boys? Yes, I have 3 older brothers, no sisters. I’ve been surrounded by boys on my life.  In fact I married a man who only has a brother. That being said,  Healthy yet Hearty Recipes are big deal and a must. And casseroles are a necessity!

One of our favorite hearty comfort foods growing up was spaghetti casserole. Although, being the youngest and only girl, if I didn’t get a piece of this casserole at dinner, I wouldn’t get any at all later. Brothers don’t share food.  Especially food with meaty cheesy goodness.  I remember each time my mom would make this spaghetti casserole, I’d stand waiting in the kitchen, praying that I’d beat my brothers for the first piece. Did I mention that my brothers like carbs, and cheese, and meat? So you can imagine the “pieces” they would take. Not a small square, but rather a whole plate full. Veggies? Ya, those did not exist on their plates.

The funny thing is, when I asked my mom what was actually in it years later, I was shocked. Sure, it was simple ingredients but also pretty unhealthy. Doesn’t that always happen? Realizing a favorite childhood meal is really not so homemade or healthy. Haha! Heck, my husband’s favorite childhood meal was spaghetti or beans on toast. That’s a thing in New Zealand, carbs on carbs. Needless to say, we all have our favorites and our taste buds have their memories.

Over the next few weeks I’m going to try to take some of our favorite childhood comfort foods and give them a little grain free or gluten-free makeover. For me, it’s the best of both worlds. Being able to relive some of our homemade comfort foods but also being able to recreate and share with others healthier gluten-free options. Plus it doesn’t hurt that these recipes can hide extra veggies in the dish. We all know we need extra veggies during the winter anyways.

Speaking of, today’s recipe. Let’s get to it!  Hearty, yet healthy, SPIRALIZED SWEET POTATO SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE.

Spiralized sweet potato spaghetti casserole! An easy to make spaghetti casserole dish made with spiralized sweet potatoes! Grain Free, gluten free, Healthy!

What I like about this dishes that you can make it in a variety of ways. You can make it more starchy with spiralized sweet potato noodles, or you can make it lighter with squash or zucchini (Zoodles). And of course, you can always just use gluten-free noodles. Spaghetti casserole, three ways.

Just spiralize a veggie….

Spiralized sweet potato spaghetti casserole! An easy to make spaghetti casserole dish made with spiralized sweet potatoes! Grain Free, gluten free, Healthy!

Add your favorite mix-ins to give it more bulk, and flavor. Chicken sausage, olives or pimentos, basil, etc.

Make sure you have a binder. I used non dairy cream/milk, sour cream, and egg. But don’t worry, I also gave non dairy options!

Then all you do next is bake! You can even make it vegetarian friendly. But I will admit, the chicken sausage is probably my favorite part.

OK I lied, twirling the noodles in a bowl my favorite.

 P.S This what the spaghetti casserole (vegetarian version with pesto) looks like before you add eggs and bake it. So basically you are totally allowed to eat it as a “deconstructed” casserole. Haha!

Description

Lighten up a classic home cooked comfort food dish with spiralized sweet potatoes! A simple wholesome gluten free/grain free spaghetti casserole ready in no time. Protein rich and veggie packed.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 peeled sweet potato (4.5 cups spiralized)
  • 2 oz cream cheese or ¼ to ⅓ cup sour cream (see notes for non dairy option)
  • ½ to ⅔ cup almond or coconut milk (drinking milk works great).
  • 1 egg and 2 egg whites whisked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic (minced)
  • ¼ tsp onion salt or sea salt (dash of garlic/salt for after baking as well)
  • 2 oz diced olives or pimentos (drained if using canned)
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • ⅔ cup cooked sliced gluten free sausage (chicken sausage, chickpeas, or any gluten free breakfast sausage all work)
  • 1 cup greens (spinach or kale)
  • 5 oz crumbled cheese – Parmesan or Feta work great. (see notes for non dairy option)
  • 4–5 basil leaves for topping
  • optional black pepper seasoning on top
  • Optional 2 –3 tablespoon pesto mixed with spaghetti noodles before baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Peel your sweet potatoes then spiralize them. Comes out to about 4.5 cups.
  3. Place sweet potato noodles in a bowl and steam in microwave for about 1 minutes or on stove top for 5 minutes, until potato noodles are al dente.
  4. Then add 1 tablespoon oil and your garlic, onion salt. Toss so that the noodles are lightly coated. To make more flavorful, feel free to toss the cooked sweet potato spaghetti noodles in a pesto before placing in casserole dish. (I used an 8×11)
  5. In another bowl, mix your sour cream (or cream cheese), whisked eggs, and milk.
  6. Lightly coat a casserole dish with oil or coconut spray.
  7. Layer your ingredients. starting with noodles, then chicken sausage, olives or pimentos, then spinach or kale greens.
  8. Next add your cream cheese/egg mixture. then add tomato sauce and crumbled cheese (parmesan or feta work great).
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. Check noodles for tenderness if you can.
  10. Optional: Top with fresh basil, black pepper and any additional sea salt or garlic.

Notes

DAIRY FREE RECIPE NOTES

  • For Dairy Free: If you cannot eat feta/cheese, then add ¼ to ⅓ cup nutritional yeast instead.
  • Instead of cream cheese or sour cream, you can use a non dairy yogurt or cream cheese but consistency might be a little different.

TO MAKE MEATLESS:

  • Feel free to replace the sausage with 1 cup cooked chickpeas for meatless option

    This is really delicious! I’m new to a gluten & wheat free diet, so I was happy to find something that tasted very similar to a baked ziti since I am missing pasta. I chose the cream cheese route, used 2 whole eggs and milk instead, added a little mozzarella to the parmesan and broiled at the end. Will definitely make again and again, thank you!

    I wouldn’t consider consuming an entire head of a spaghetti squash by myself a crime….unless if I meant to purchase it for another person! Anyhow, I love these casseroles that use the good old spaghetti squash! Not being able to eat eggs, I probably will have to figure out a way to replace them, but I’m hoping that if I maintain enough thickness, everything should be good! Then again, I don’t mind it if the casserole falls apart as long as it’s tasty!

    Oh how did I not think of this?!? A year or two ago we got hooked on spiralized sweet potato noodles in pad thai or just with a cinnamon sage butter sauce but I haven’t made a “traditional” spaghetti. Makes sense, sweet potato chili is amazing!

    Lindsay, this casserole looks like absolute perfection! I don’t use my spiralizer enough. With this recipe, you’ve definitely inspired me to put it to use.

    This is such a good idea for a series I’m excited!
    That casserole looks so freaking good and I think it’s cool because it can be a blueprint for so many other casseroles (mexican noodle casserole, greek noodle casserole, asian noodle … you get it.)

    Still my faves.

    Mac n’ Cheese! I love it. As a child I loved it, as an adult I still want to eat it. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to make a healthy cheezy sauce 🙂

    My mom made the best spaghetti casserole growing up–it’s so good! I LOVE this version–any excuse to use my fun spiralizer.

    I’m loving casseroles as the weather cools. Plus, since I spend all of my evenings going to and fro with the kids, it’s a perfect thing to prep in advance and pop in the oven later!

    I love that you used sweet potato noodles. I have to get brave enough to try sweet potatoes in my spiralizer, because omg yum! I do look back on some of my favorite childhood food memories and yes, it makes me so sad to know how unhealthy they are. But my palate has changed and I would love to recreate them now a bit healthier. Oh mac and cheese where you at!!

    Holy crap this looks freaking amazing. I think I am ordering a spiralizer tonight.
    And I totally feel you on the “not-so-homemade” family food traditions. But I come from a family of 6 kids, so the parents fed us what we would eat and that was that! 😉

    The more I see of excellent spiralizer recipes like this, the more I can’t wait until I hopefully get mine for Christmas!

    Currently collecting lots of spiralizer recipes. Thank you! 🙂

    YUM! I still haven’t done the spiraled sweet potato thing yet but it sounds delicious! I used to love when my mom made chili mac (noodles with spoonfuls of chili and ketchup-I swear it was better than it sounds!) and mac and cheese with tuna.
