Savory Sweet Potato Casserole with Sage Breadcrumbs is not your ordinary holiday side! Everyone loves this delicious, non-traditional take on a classic!

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! Every year I love the holidays and even more, I love cooking for the holidays. I have some classic recipes that I make again and again, and some non-traditional sides too. This Savory Sweet Potato Casserole with Sage Breadcrumbs makes an appearance on my table quite frequently!

I don’t know about you, but at Thanksgiving, the side dishes steal the show for me. Unlike my husband and kids, I am not huge on turkey or ham, but instead, fill up on the side dishes. 

Some of my favorite veggie side dishes are Green Bean Casserole or Zucchini with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Crispy Onions. This year I think I am even going to mix it up and throw corn and zucchini into my Stuffing!

While I do love traditional Sweet Potato Casseroles with Marshmallows, sometimes I prefer my sweet potatoes cooked in a savory way! I love the combination of the whipped potatoes with the crunchy sage breadcrumbs, and have been making it year after year.
