Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 sweet potatoes, scrubbed
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons pepper
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups raw cashews
1 ¾ cups low sodium vegetable broth, plus more for soaking cashews
3 cloves garlic
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
oil, for greasing

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!

6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 ¼ cups vegetable broth, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups soy milk

3 teaspoons paprika

Steps:

Gradually add soy milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in half of the soy cheese. Stir constantly until cheese is melted. Pour over potatoes.

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:

Vegan sweet potatoes au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting side dish, give this recipe a try!
