Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them with a fork several times.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are very soft.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the skins off and mash the flesh in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut milk, coconut oil, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir until a dough forms.
Dust a clean surface with a little tapioca starch. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each into a round ball.
Flatten each ball into a naan shape, about 1/4 inch thick, using your hands.
Heat an additional tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the naan to a cooling rack.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle over the naan before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite Paleo dips or dishes.
