Holiday Sweet Potato Mash
Holiday Sweet Potato Mash
All the taste, none of the guilt
- 3-4 Sweet Potatoes (Chop and Boil 35-40 minutes until tender)
- 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 Tbsp Chopped "raw" pecans (use the ones in the baking ilse)
- 2 tsp monk fruit
- 2 tsp olive oil
Peel, chop and boil sweet potatoes for 35-40 minutes until tender
While potatoes are cooking, add pecans and olive oil to pan. Sprinkle with monk fruit sugar and stir constantly to coat nuts.
When potatoes are done, mash, adding in the almond milk and vanilla.
Spread potatoes over 8x8 or 9x9 pan and then spinkle on nut mixture. Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven with your other holiday goodies.
This is my favorite take on an overly sweet holiday side dish. If your guests never see you prepare the dish, they will never know just how healthy it is. If I am going to someone else's house, I always offer to bring this dish.
Got a nut allergy - omit the nut milk and use coconut, cashew or oat milk to mix with the vanilla and then just sprinkle with the monk fruit.
p.s. if you have a steamer, this is my preferred way to cook the sweet potatoes; brings out their natural sweetness.
Marshmallows - don't even think of adding them!!!
