Potato-based side dishes for Thanksgiving don’t have to be ridiculously high in carbs!
I absolutely love this new recipe for gluten-free Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with 15 carbs per serving and 3 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein.
Plus, since the dish is #glutenfree #dairyfree and #soyfree it’s definitely safe to try.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes organic
- 1/4 Yellow Onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsps Coconut Oil organic
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Coconut Milk organic
- 1 1/2 tsps Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Thyme stems removed
- 3/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 2/3 cup Pumpkin Pureed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes to approximately 1/8-inch thick or use a mandoline. Thinly slice the onions and set aside.
- Grease baking dish with a bit of coconut oil. (Note: I use a 9x9 baking dish for 6 servings.)
- Create overlapping layers of the sweet potato slices in the dish and sprinkle the onions between each layer. Continue until all sweet potato and onion are used up.
- In a saucepan, heat coconut oil on medium heat. When melted, add almond flour and whisk for 1-2 min.
- Add coconut milk, pumpkin, garlic powder, thyme & salt. Whisk until combined and warm, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the sweet potatoes. Top with any leftover sprigs of thyme or a dash of dried thyme.
- Bake 40-45 minutes, uncovered, until sweet potatoes are cooked through. Enjoy!
