Provided by Charla

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped (slices or quarters))
1/4 cup of dairy free butter (75g)
1/2 cup of coconut sugar (75g)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp himalayan pink salt
1/3 cup of water (80ml)

Steps:

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and carefully cut them into slices (discard the ends and outer skin).
  • Using a skillet on medium heat, proceed to melt the butter and stir in the spices and coconut sugar
  • Carefully add in the potatoes with pink salt and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture
  • Pour in the water to create a watery syrup then fold and stir with the sweet potatoes (don't worry this will thicken up)
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover with lid and allow to cook on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Continue to baste the yams with the syrup occasionally. Add a splash more water to loosen up the syrup if it's becomes too thick for your liking. The yams should be tender and soft to the touch - can prick with a fork. The butter and coconut sugar should have congealed into a syrup texture.
  • Serve piping hot and enjoy!

VEGAN CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Vegan Candied Sweet Potatoes image

This is another recipe I got from the 3ABN network cooking show. They are very good but quite different from the normal "candied sweet potatoes." My family are now preferring these to the old ones with the brown sugar and marshmallows. These are more healthy too which makes a mom feel good. cooking time and prep time does not include the time to bake the potatoes.

Time 25m

Yield 1 dish, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large sweet potatoes, baked with skins on (do not peel after baking_)
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1/3-1/2 cup pure honey (you can use pure maple syrup if you prefer)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon sea salt (you can use regular salt if you prefer)
chopped walnuts, to sprinkle on top

Steps:

  • Bake potatoes in skins and let cool to handle.
  • Slice in thick rounds (maybe 1/2 inch thick).
  • Place in baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray.
  • Mix honey and coriander into the coconut milk until smooth and well mixed.
  • Pour over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
  • Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
  • They will absorb the liquid and dry a tad while they bake.
