VEGAN MASHED POTATOES
To make vegan use coconut milk and Balance Vegan Butter https://www.earthbalancenatural.com/baking-sticks/vegan-buttery-sticks
GLAZED PURPLE SWEET POTATOES
This is my freestyle recipe after tasting a purple sweet potato for the first time. It reminded me of my childhood Thanksgivings with the candied sugary sweet potatoes. The purple sweet potatoes have a natural mild molasses-like flavor and I knew I had a perfect match for creating the glaze.
First, boil the purple sweet potato(s) along with regular sweet potatoes leaving them slightly firm on the inside. They will later be baked in the oven and will reach their desired texture when complete.
GLAZE: SUGAR-FREE SIMPLE SYRUP
1. Cut one half of the of the potato and blend it with 1/4 cup of water
2. Then bring 1 cup of water & 1 cup of monkfruit to a boil. (Monkfruit can be found on amazon, Whole Foods, and sometimes at Marshalls and TJ Max)
3. Add the blended potato to the sugar-free simple syrup
4. Add Tapioca flour 1 tsp at a time to desired thickness. (I use Bob’s Red Mill Tapioca Flour)
5. Cut the remaining potatoes into chunks and spread in baking dish.
6. Pour glaze over potatoes
7. Cook at 400 degree for 20-30 minutes
8. Stir halfway through baking.
NO SUGAR ADDED CRANBERRY SAUCE
1. Bring 1 cup of water and 1 cup of monkfruit to a boil.
2. Add 1 & 1/4 bag of whole cranberries
3. Cover and reduce heat
4. Cranberries will start to pop and the sauce will thicken.
5. Remove from heat and let stand until cooled
(These instructions are on most bags of cranberries)
Bon Appetite!
