Ingredients
3 Large Sweet Potatoes (about 2 pounds)
2–3 Tablespoons Vegan Butter
1/4 cup Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk (such as almond, oat, or cashew milk)
1 tsp Maple Syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
Salt to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper (optional)
Optional Toppings:
Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
Drizzle of Maple Syrup
Fresh Herbs like Thyme or Parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the vegan butter, plant-based milk, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup (if using). Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust the amount of plant-based milk for your desired consistency.
Add salt to taste and a pinch of black pepper if desired. Mix well. Transfer to a serving dish and top with your favorite toppings like chopped pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.
