Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (or vegan butter for a plant-based version)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Peel the skins off the roasted sweet potatoes. The skins should come off easily by hand or with the help of a knife.
Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl or a food processor. Add the unsweetened almond milk, unsalted butter (or vegan butter), ground cinnamon, and salt.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher for a rustic texture, or blend in a food processor for a smoother consistency. Adjust the almond milk quantity slightly if a creamier texture is desired.
Taste the puree and adjust the salt or cinnamon to your liking if necessary.
Serve the sugar-free sweet potato puree warm as a side dish, or refrigerate and reheat before serving.
