Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes (5 medium sweet potatoes) peeled and sliced into ⅛ inch thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, grass fed butter or ghee
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • Extra herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Next, add the coconut cream, almond milk, grass-fed butter or ghee, salt and pepper and whisk well until melted and combined.
  • In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the chicken stock and tapioca flour. Add the mixture to the cream mixture in the pot and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until mixture thickens. Stir in rosemary and and thyme and set aside.
  • Arrange ⅓ of the sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking pan by fanning them out into a pretty pattern. Top the sweet potatoes with ⅓ of the cream sauce and spread out gently with a rubber spatula to cover all of the sweet potatoes. Repeat this step two more times until all of the sweet potatoes and sauce are gone.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are cooked and fork tender. Broil for 2-3 minutes until tops of potatoes are browned.
  • Remove from the oven and top with additional chopped rosemary and thyme on top if desired. Serve warm.

Notes
