I use Hannah yams instead of sweet potatoes in this dairy free sweet potatoes dish because they’re creamier and not as sweet as regular sweet potatoes.
One of the quirks of the Paleo diet is that sweet potatoes are legal, while regular potatoes are not.
Because the Paleo diet excludes many carb sources, this is a tasty way to get necessary carbs into your diet.
Serves: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes (I prefer hannah yams. They’re creamier and not as sweet as sweet potatoes.)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1/2 cup applesauce (preferably homemade)
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored and sliced into 1-inch slices)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet or Silpat and bake until until tender, 80-90 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
Scoop out insides of potatoes and place in electric mixer bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee and coconut milk, and mix on medium speed with paddle attachment until smooth. Add in applesauce, ginger and salt.
Transfer mixture to baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
Cook apples in remaining coconut oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Place apples on top of sweet potato mixture and serve.
