Creamy Sweet Potato Bake

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced using a mandoline (tip: choose potatoes that are very similar in size/shape)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1 cup organic, unsweetened canned coconut milk
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp gluten-free flour
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to your taste
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 Tbsp sliced chives as garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven 350 degrees f.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together coconut milk, paprika, and gluten-free flour.

  4. 4

    Pour the coconut mixture over the onions in the pan, then whisk to combine.

  5. 5

    Lower the heat to a simmer and cook stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour the coconut sauce in the bottom of an 8 x 8 oven dish, then layer the sweet potato slices on as shown.

  7. 7

    Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes in your preheated oven.

  8. 8

    Then, uncover the dish, bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender and golden-crispy-browned on top.

  9. 9

    Garnish with fresh chopped chives, and serve.
