Ginger Spiced Sweet Potatoes
A healthy Thanksgiving day or special occasion treat.
Ingredients
Directions
- Wash and quarter each sweet potato (leave skins on) and place in a medium-large pot.
- Add water into pot until sweet potatoes are just covered with water. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt to water.
- Heat potatoes over medium-high heat to a boil. Once potatoes come to a boil bring down to a simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
- While potatoes boil, chop up 1/2 a large shallot, 1/3 small ginger root and 4 cloves of garlic. Add to sauce pan with 2 tablespoons canola oil with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper, and 1 tablespoon black pepper. Sauté until veggies are tender.
- Lightly toast slivered almonds in small cooking pan over medium heat. Stir frequently. Set aside.
- Once potatoes become fork tender, remove from heat and drain. Skins should separate easily from the potatoes. Remove the skins.
- Add 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk and with a potato masher mash together to desired consistency.
- Add ginger/garlic sauté to potatoes with potato masher. Mix in almonds and serve!
