A sweet treat for the New Year or anytime, this Sweet Potato Noodle Paleo Kugel is made with spiralized sweet potatoes, apples, pears, raisins, and warm, sweet fall spices! It’s gluten free, dairy free, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly with no added sugar.
Let’s see – what’s September all about besides back to school chaos, good running weather and lots of germs circulating? (Sorry I’m bitter I caught my kids’ cold yesterday.) Jewish holidays, that’s what.
And, though I might not be the most observant Jew (don’t tell my kids, although I guess they might know this by now) I still think of the Jewish New Year as a time to cook lots of yummy food with apples, honey, and raisins.
This is the first September I realized that I won’t be eating my beloved noodle kugel!
Isn’t it funny how you can slam the door in pizza’s face yet something you only had once a year that has sentimental value makes you sad to leave it behind? So anyway, I was like, “no way, we’re having noodle kugel.” And, here it is. Sweet Potato Noodle Paleo Kugel!
Look, I don’t remember what noodles taste like anymore so don’t hold me to that, but in every other way this Paleo kugel lives up to what I remember my grandma’s noodle kugel to be.
And, don’t think you have to know what noodle kugel even is to enjoy this. The secret might as well be out – this Paleo kugel is really the same thing as a sweet potato noodle pie! Plus, you can happily and healthfully consume this Paleo kugel whenever you want – breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, dessert. It’s perfect to make ahead of time too!
Now, you just can’t argue with these delicious, fresh ingredients baked up in a pie together. Paleo kugel equals comfort food at it’s finest!

So, tell me – what’s your favorite fall-themed comfort food? Have you ever tried noodle pudding/kugel?
Do you think this would do well if I made it ahead and froze it?
I made this tonight for the first time for Rosh Hashanah, following the recipe precisely. Decided to taste it before I serve it to guests. It’s quite good, a bit unusual, and it’s Paleo! My mother made the traditional noodle Koegel, which due to a blood sugar issue I will unfortunately not be able to enjoy. This is a nice Healthier substitute.
Loved the mix of spices in this Paleo noodle kugel. It is hard to find good Jewish holiday recipes that are Paleo. The texture was fantastic.
I would eat this for a breakfast.
I’m so excited to make this for Shabbos!
