Roasted Sweet Potato Puree, Gluten-free and Dairy-free

I wish I could convey how delicious this sweet potato puree is. Words are only a finger pointing toward the real thing. Let me just point this out to you.

If you roast sweet potatoes in advance, you could be eating this sweet potato puree within 10 minutes of deciding to make it.

Think about how welcome that would be for Thanksgiving!

And also, how welcome this dish would be for anyone joining you at the Thanksgiving table who has to be gluten-free and dairy-free. Everyone will want seconds, but make sure they go to those folks first.

On top of that, there are only four ingredients!

Start making this now.

Roasted Sweet Potato Puree

2 large roasted sweet potatoes (16 ounces), cut up into cubes
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)

Put the roasted sweet potatoes into the bowl of a food processor. Whirl them up until they are a thick puree.

With the food processor running, drizzle in the coconut milk, then maple syrup, until you have smooth puree. Add the salt and taste. If you want to use the spices, add them here and whirl the food processor until everything is fully incorporated. If it feels too thick to you, add a bit more coconut milk or hot water.

Feeds 4.

p.s. If you have some gluten-free tart shells, you could spoon this puree into the baked tart shells and add a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a great dessert.

Easy Sweet Potato Sandwich Spread

sweet potato sandwich spread

Around the holidays you are likely to have plenty of sweet potatoes on hand. And many sweet potato dishes in the form of leftovers. Well if you are bored with eating basic baked or roasted whole potatoes there are a few things you can do. Make a soup puree, blend the sweet potatoes into a sweet creamy pasta sauce, make sweet potato hummus or do what I love to: make Sweet Potato Sandwich Spread! Sweet potatoes add a sweet flavor and moistness to your sandwiches. You can spread it warm or chilled. You can blend the spread to be thick or more thin, almost like a very thick gravy. Here is one easy, customizable recipe to use leftover (or fresh) sweet potatoes to make a sandwich spread..

Sweet Potato Puree Sandwich Spread
vegan, makes about 1 1/2 cups

1 cup roasted or baked sweet potatoes (these can be freshly made or from leftovers)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained/rinsed (these thicken up your spread see notes for substitutions)
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2+ tsp spice (try chipotle, cinnamon or any spice blend you love)
salt + pepper to taste
splash of acid try lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to taste
drizzle of oil (as desired, any variety. Nutty oils like walnut, avocado or hazelnut work very well.)

Directions: Blend all ingredients in a Vitamix, blender or food processor until smooth.

notes:
* If you do not like or have beans, try nuts as a spread thickener. Walnuts work great!
* If you are using leftover sweet potatoes that have already been seasoned, you will probably not need to add in the salt, spices and even added sweetener.
* You can serve this spread warmed or chilled. Chilling will thicken things up. Warming will make the texture softer.
* If you are using nuts as your thickener, you will probably need a powerful blending device like a Vitamix to achieve a smooth texture.

Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges

We cant get enough sweet potatoes in this house. I can eat them just about any way imaginable, but the kids love is the wedge and the hubs like his wedges to have some kick. I think he likes to counter the sweetness with a little salt and spice. I did some experimenting and came up with the perfect combination to satisfy all. Now the family requests sweet potato wedges every other day, good thing they are so easy to make!

Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges

1 to 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into wedges

Olive oil

Garlic salt

Cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. I peel the sweet potatoes because I find the peel difficult for the kids to eat. Cut into wedges (sweet potatoes are HUGE right now so your wedges may not be perfect and thats ok). Place into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and toss to thoroughly coat. Spread out onto baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt. Flip and sprinkle the other side. Now for the cayenne, go easy. If your kids dont like spice, leave some without. I pinch a bit of cayenne between my fingers and lightly sprinkle over the wedges, so each bit has just enough to give it some kick without overpowering. Place in the oven and cook for 25 minutes or until edges begin to brown - you want them soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Serve with ranch dressing if you need to tame the flame.

Sweet & Simple: Roast Sweet Potatoes with Butter & Brown Sugar

Every year for Thanksgiving I make a big sweet potato casserole. But, with tons of sugar, cream, and eggs, its essentially a sweet potato pudding. This year, Ive resolved to simplify my Thanksgiving sides, and make things a little healthier. Thats where these simple roast sweet potatoes come in. They are so easy to make, and with brown sugar and melted butter, are incredibly rich and buttery.

They take maybe one minute to prep, and can easily be added to a crowded oven. All in all, simple roast sweet potatoes are an easy, delicious, crowd-pleasing, and altogether well-behaved Thanksgiving side.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Butter and Brown Sugar (adapted from Cooking in the Moment by Andrea Reusing)

1 sweet potato per person
1/2 tablespoon of butter per potato, or more
1 2 teaspoons brown sugar per potato
1/4 teaspoon sea salt per potato

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, and then poke all over with the tines of a fork.

Wrap tightly in foil. Place in the oven, and roast for 60 70 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are quite soft. Carefully unwrap, slice down the middle, add the butter, sugar, and salt, and serve.

Smoked Paprika Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I remember the first time I had sweet potatoes, they were mashed and served on the side of a piece of chicken. I loved the combo and have been enjoying different variations of sweet potatoes ever since. Experimenting with cooking techniques and coming to love the sweet potato was not a hard task. The recipe I provide here is very easy and one I absolutely adore. The addition of smoked paprika blends nicely with the creamy sweet taste of the orange hued potato that is always celebrated at my holiday table as an ideal side dish. Enjoy.

Ingredients for Smoked Paprika Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

• 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, about 4 cups)
• 4 cloves of garlic (peeled and cut into long slivers)
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lawrys seasoning salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit

Toss all ingredients in a large bowl

Then spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Make sure to spread them out evenly.

Bake for 25 minutes.

Then remove from oven and with a spatula toss the potatoes on the baking sheet.

Put them back in the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

Spiced Sweet Potato Quick Bread

Sweet potatoes are fresh and in-season right now, and after finding a trove at my local market, I was inspired to make this tasty spiced sweet potato bread. With a flavor comparable to squash, sweet potatoes are a fantastic alternative. They lend a smooth, silky texture to baked goods, and are much easier to break down and prepare. Id never tried sweet potatoes in a quick bread before, and instantly fell in love with this wholesome, lightly sweet treat.

To make my sweet potato puree, I roasted a large sweet potato for an hour, which gave it a rich, buttery flavor with hints of caramel. I then added the pulp to this tender quick bread with a little spice and toothsome cornmeal. The result was a moist, comforting holiday quick bread a definite new favorite.

Spiced Sweet Potato Quick Bread

1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes, or 1 cup sweet potato puree
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup milk

To roast the sweet potato, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash skin well and poke all over with the tines of a fork. Wrap in foil, and place in over for 60 70 minutes. Bake until the sweet potato is very soft. Carefully unwrap potato, scoop the out the flesh, and measure out 1 cup. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 bread pan and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, salt, and spices.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, sweet potato, eggs, olive oil, and milk. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until combined. Spoon into the prepared bread pan.

Pumpkin, Squash or Sweet Potato Muffins

Winter squash are in season not only pumpkins, but butternut, Hubbard and acorn squash abound at farmers markets, as do sweet potatoes, ready for Thanksgiving tables. All of these beta-carotene rich veggies make fantastic muffins, and theres no need to open a can. If you find yourself with leftover roasted squash or mashed sweet potato, any or all can be used up in a batch of muffins or cook up a batch to mash and freeze exclusively for this purpose. Pureed squash and sweet potato freeze beautifully, so you can make some to stash away for muffins all winter long.

Squash and sweet potato can be used interchangeably in this recipe, so dont worry about using a combination, if thats what you have. To roast your own, cut winter squash in wedges, peel, cube and toss with oil; spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 400F for 30 minutes, until soft. Mash with a fork. To roast sweet potatoes, poke with a fork and roast directly on the oven rack at 350F (or higher) for 1 hour, or until soft and the skin starts to peel away from the flesh; this can be done while something else is cooking in the oven.

Lets compare nutrition facts and see where you can get the most nutrient bang for your buck. Will you be piling even more canned pumpkin into your shopping cart this season?..

When it comes to orange-colored foods for fall you can probably name the most well-known for health: butternut squash, sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Lets check out how pumpkin stacks up..

Facts per 1/2 cup, mashed Canned Pumpkin:
(Around) 44 calories. 280% RDA vitamin A. 4g fiber. 8% RDA iron.

Compared to:
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato:
(Around) 100 calories. 300% RDA vitamin A. 1.7g fiber. 8% RDA iron.

1/2 cup mashed butternut squash:
(Around) 50 calories. 45% RDA vitamin A. 2g fiber. 2% RDA iron.

Overall: So as you can see from these comparisons, the pumpkin and sweet potato are about on par with vitamin A however the pumpkin is lower in calories than the sweet potato by more than half! The butternut squash doesnt even come close in terms of vitamin A. The pumpkin has the most fiber. And the pumpkin and sweet potato have more iron than the butternut squash.

So overall, you will be smart to add any of these foods to your diet! But if you want fiber, grab the pumpkin! And if you want vitamin A, grab the pumpkin or butternut squash. Go grab some cans and feel good about including plenty of pumpkin in your diet this holiday season. Including Vegan Pumpkin Pie (pictured above) recipe on Healthy. Happy. Life.
