Creamy Sweet Potato Bake
Servings 5 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced using a mandoline (tip: choose potatoes that are very similar in size/shape)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 medium onion yellow, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic fresh, minced or pressed
- 1 cup coconut milk organic, unsweetened canned
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp gluten-free flour
- sea salt to your taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to your taste
- 1 tbs parsley fresh chopped
- 1 tbs chives as garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven 350 degrees f.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until it softens, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute another minute or two.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together coconut milk, paprika, and gluten-free flour.
- Pour the coconut mixture over the onions in the pan, then whisk to combine.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the coconut sauce in the bottom of an 8 x 8 oven dish, then layer the sweet potato slices on as shown.
- Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes in your preheated oven.
- Then, uncover the dish, bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden-crispy-browned on top.
- Garnish with fresh chopped chives, and serve.
