Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 200g) Sweet potato
- 2 medium (about 150g total) Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel the sweet potato and carrots, and cut both into small, evenly sized chunks for quick and even cooking.
Place the sweet potato and carrot chunks into a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the vegetables simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until both the sweet potato and carrots are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked vegetables and transfer them to a blender or food processor while they are still warm.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the blender or food processor to help create a smooth consistency.
Blend or process the vegetables until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Allow the substitute to cool completely before using it in recipes as a replacement for part or all of the fat (e.g., butter, oil) in baked goods.
Store leftover sweet potato carrot fat substitute in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
