Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 cups, chopped spinach
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in almond flour, eggs, and nutritional yeast.
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the ground pork mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture into a greased pie dish, smoothing out the top with a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
