The Sweetest of Sweet Potato Pie

After my first day back at the office, I really fancied something extra yummy and homely. Growing up, we all had favourite dinners, and one of those was my Grandma’s Sheppard’s pie for me. So I decided to cook a healthier version of this sweet potato pie that is dairy and gluten-free!

I call this recipe the Sweetest of Sweet Potato Pie because it’s obviously sweet and savoury. It’s the perfect quick comfort food to serve when you want your family or guests to feel satiated.

Check out the very easy recipe below that you can perfect on the first attempt.
