Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast it in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft.
  2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: While the garlic is roasting, place the diced sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Mash Together: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into the pot. Add almond milk, and mash everything together until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve: Transfer the mash to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy your delicious Vegan Roasted Garlic and Sweet Potato Mash.
