Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts Gratin Recipe for Fall Sides

This post is sponsored by Califia Farms, maker of delicious non-dairy milks, creamers, yogurts, and coffee drinks. I used Califia Farms Oatmilk to make this Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Gratin. The oat milk keeps the gratin creamy without cheese or heavy cream. With just three simple ingredients and no gums or stabilizers, Califia Farms Oatmilk is my favorite choice for this dish.

I’m excited to share one of my go-to recipes: Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Gratin. It’s simple, nourishing, and comforting. This one-pan meal is easy to prepare and perfect for weekly meal prep. Aside from a small bowl used for the crumb topping, everything cooks in a single baking dish. It reheats well and freezes beautifully, so it’s ideal for batch cooking.

Becoming a parent gave me a whole new appreciation for quick, reliable meals. Between long days, interrupted sleep, and endless to-dos, meal prep is the difference between reaching for takeout and enjoying a homemade, healthy dinner. I aim to prep at least once a week so I can grab a ready-to-eat meal and get on with the day.

These days I favor one-pan recipes because they’re fast to assemble and minimize cleanup. You can throw everything together, let it bake, and spend your time doing something else—exactly what a busy parent needs.
