Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, minced garlic, onion powder, nutmeg, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well and heat until the mixture is just warm. Do not let it boil.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of sweet potato slices, slightly overlapping them.
Sprinkle some fresh thyme over the layer of sweet potatoes.
Pour a portion of the coconut mixture over the sweet potatoes to evenly coat them.
Repeat the process of layering sweet potatoes, adding thyme, and pouring coconut mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the coconut mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
