Mashed Sweet Potatoes

This Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe is a very simple, hearty, and delicious dish made with heart-healthy ingredients. This is another instance where I have been amazed at how well coconut oil and coconut yogurt replace butter and cream – making this dish a bit healthier but tasting just as good!  During my Whole30 program, this dish was on my weekly menu planning and now has become a pretty regular side dish for my meals.

Ingredients

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp coconut yogurt
• salt and pepper to taste
• fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 ºF. Scrub sweet potatoes then pierce a few times with a fork.
• Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 45-55 minutes, checking for doneness after 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes then place in a large bowl.
• Add coconut oil, yogurt, and salt and pepper to taste and mix/mash.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Notes

This recipe is designed to be Whole30 and Paleo compliant, but you can always substitute butter and milk in the place of the coconut oil and coconut yogurt. Also,  if you are in a bit of a time crunch, you can boil the sweet potatoes cubed for about 20-30 minutes until tender instead of roasting them in the oven.
