Steps:
- Add the cashews to a medium bowl with enough vegetable broth to cover. Soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse.
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
- Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into rounds.
- Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic, thyme leaves, pepper, and salt.
- Add the drained cashews to a blender or food processor, along with the garlic, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, vegetable broth, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Grease a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof dish with oil.
- Pour ⅓ of the cashew sauce into the skillet and tilt to evenly coat the bottom. Layer half of the sweet potato rounds over the sauce, overlapping slightly to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Repeat with another ⅓ of the sauce, the rest of the potatoes, and the rest of the sauce.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown on top and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and difficult to slice.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes: This will help you get even slices that will cook evenly.
- Layer the sweet potatoes in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good choices. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
- Don't skimp on the cream: It helps to create a rich and creamy sauce.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the sweet potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help them set and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
