Peel and chop sweet potatoes, then boil until just soft (keep the cooking water!) and transfer to your baking dish. Add some sugar and seasonings to the reserved cooking water alongside some plant-based butter pieces, then bake, and voila \u2014 candied yams.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_102\">18.

Make prep easier by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cooking dishes a few days ahead<\/strong>: Although some Thanksgiving side dishes are best served fresh, many still taste great and retain their texture when made one to three days beforehand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delegating dishes to guests<\/strong>: You never have to make everything yourself. After all, it\u2019s tradition for guests to bring dishes too! Handle the plant-based mac and cheese yourself, and have someone else bring their homemade dairy-free cornbread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Planning an accessible menu<\/strong>: Before your Thanksgiving meal, ask your guests about their dietary restrictions. This way, you can gather appropriate substitute ingredients for your Thanksgiving recipes well ahead of time and keep your feast fully accessible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Getting an anti-fatigue mat<\/strong>: After enough time on your feet in the kitchen, you might start to feel it in your neck, shoulders, back, legs, and feet. With an anti-fatigue mat in your kitchen, you\u2019ll be much more comfortable the whole time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Testing dishes beforehand<\/strong>: The best Thanksgiving hosts don\u2019t serve first-time recipes on the big day. Test any dishes on the menu well ahead of the holiday so you know whether they\u2019ll be crowd-pleasers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asking for help cleaning<\/strong>: All that cooking and eating can make for lots of dirty kitchenware and countertops. Your guests might be happy to help clean up afterward (or arrive early to help clean as you cook).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stocking up on to-go containers<\/strong>: As delicious as all that food is, chances are you don\u2019t have room to keep it all. With to-go containers on hand, everyone can take some of your Thanksgiving sides home, leaving you with only however much you can fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subbing meal delivery services for grocery store runs<\/strong>: Cooking already takes plenty of time. Skip the huge time-suck of supermarket runs with services that deliver meal kits, ready-to-eat meals, and grocery items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_130\">Shop Purple Carrot for a 100% plant-based Thanksgiving<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7447_c5ee50-39_131\">From simple side salads to maple-centric sandwiches perfect for your Thanksgiving gravy, Purple Carrot\u2019s 100% plant-based meal-kits, ready-to-eat meals, and grocery items give you tons of time back.
