Mashed potatoes usually involve heavy cream and butter… which is not only not allergy friendly, but also unhealthy. So I made a non-dairy and healthy mashed potato option this week. I adore sweet potatoes… they are much healthier than white potatoes because they have more antioxidants, and I think they taste so much better. So, given the fall season, I made apple cinnamon shmashed sweet potatoes!
Apple Cinnamon Shmash
Pieces:
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled
- olive oil for misting, about 2 tbsp.
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tbsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. vegan butter
- salt and pepper to season, about 1 tsp. each
Process:
- Chop the peeled sweet potatoes into quarter inch rounds.
- On a lightly greased cookie sheet, spread out the sweet potato rounds and lightly spray with olive oil.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 35 minutes, until fork tender.
- In a medium pot, place the tender sweet potato rounds. Add the apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, vegan butter, and salt/pepper.
- Mix together with a hand mixer until combined.
- Serve hot!
Happy Allergy Free Eating!
