Servings: 4 Servings
Equipment
- Steamer Basket
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and chopped to equal large bite-sized pieces
- 1.5 tbsp vegan butter melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel and chop sweet potatoes. You want them to be similar in size so that they cook at the same speed.
- Put a steamer basket in a large pot, and fill water until it almost touches the basket. Place chopped sweet potatoes into the basket. Turn heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook for 10-20 minutes depending on how thick or thin you cut your potatoes.
- While the sweet potatoes are steaming, you can make the candy mixture. In a medium bowl melt 1.5 tbsp Vegan butter. Then stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/3 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
- When potatoes are done (test with fork to make sure they're soft), move them from the steamer basket into a serving bowl. Drizzle candied topping over the sweet potatoes and gently stir it around.
