This Gluten-Free Kale & Sweet Potato Bake can be served as a vegan and paleo side dish. Everyone loves it because of the hearty and delicious sweet potatoes.

Kale & Sweet Potato Casserole

This dish is kind of like a casserole in that you can just combine the ingredients ahead of time and then bake it when you’re ready to eat. It has three real ingredients: kale, sweet potato, and onion. The coconut oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and thyme are optional!

How to Make This Easy Casserole

1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
2. Peel and chop your sweet potatoes.
3. Chop the onion, and kale, and toss it all with your choice of oil and spices.
4. Bake for 45 minutes and serve hot.

What Do Kale & Sweet Potatoes Taste Like?

There is a really nice mixture of sweet potatoes and kale in this casserole, along with the great flavor and texture of the onion. I love the sweetness and heartiness from the potatoes, with the extra savory flavor from the kale and onion.

Easy Vegan Side Dish

The kale does get cooked down during the baking process, but it’s still a nice-looking dish that you can serve at holidays or family gatherings. Your friends on a paleo, vegan, Whole30, or real food diet will love you for making this. I like to serve it as a nice side dish, and the leftovers heat up nicely too.
