Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the onion. Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess liquid. Add the onion to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the all-purpose flour, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the grated sweet potatoes and onions. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down gently.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the kugel to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the middle.
Remove the kugel from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
