Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

2. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, cinnamon, or pepper as desired.
8. Serve warm as a side dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
