Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk {I used cashew}
- 2-3 tablespoon maple syrup to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1-2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter
Instructions
- First, prepare the sweet potatoes by washing and peeling them.
- Cut them into medium-sized cubes and place in a large pot.
- Pour the milk over the sweet potato pieces and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the milk to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover the pot, and allow the sweet potatoes to cook over medium-low heat until soft and falling apart. This should take 30-45 minutes.
- When the sweet potatoes are completely soft and mushy, use a potato masher to smooth them out, and season with the maple syrup, thyme, vegan butter, and any additional salt.
- Serve immediately!
