Coconut Curry Sweet Potatoes

I’ve got a lot on my plate – no pun intended. College applications are due in the next few months and i’m still scrambling to finish my essay.  How am I supposed to tell someone who I am in just 650 words?  I am currently at 2,010 words.  Its time to take a little dinner break and make something I know will get me through a long night of editing.  I made my very favorite Coconut Curry Sweet Potatoes with a farm fresh egg.

Ingredients

Yield: 2 servings         Time: 30 minutes

  • 2 sweet potatoes, washed and diced with skin on
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp curry powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 can coconut milk
  • 2 Tbs
  • Egg (optional)
  • scallions (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  2. Wash and dice your sweet potatoes into small cubes and place in a medium size bowl. Add the coconut oil, curry powder, salt and pepper to the bowl and mix until all the sweet potato cubes are coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes onto the pan evenly and roast until tender and golden brown.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes and half a can of coconut milk into a bowl with the 2 Tbsp of butter. Use a potato masher and blend the potatoes  until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. For extra super tastiness top your mashed sweet potato with a crispy fried egg and some fresh chopped scallions.
