Vegan Mashed Sweet Potatoes

7-ingredient vegan mashed sweet potatoes. They’re so tasty, smooth, creamy and ready in about 30 minutes. It’s the perfect side dish!

I really LOVE mashed potatoes, it’s one of my all-time favorite side dishes and I ate it a lot when I was a child. However, I’ve onlye eaten mashed sweet potatoes, maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life and although I think it tastes great, I’ve never made it at home and I’m so happy with this recipe, it’s AMAZING!

This is comfort food, so delicious, simple and satiating, and is ready in about 30 minutes. Besides, it’s a great side dish. I prefer to eat it with some veggies (raw or steamed) and some plant-based protein like tofu or canned legumes. Mashed sweet potatoes are delightful hot or cold, so it’s a perfect food to include in your lunch box.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds sweet potato (900 g)
• 1/4 cup plant milk of your choice, we used soy milk (65 ml)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• Chopped walnuts and dried dill for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Peal and dice the sweet potatoes and steam (or boil) them for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re soft.
2. Add the steamed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mash. We used an immersion blender, but feel free to use a potato masher, a fork or even a regular blender.
3. Top with some chopped walnuts and dried dill (optional) and serve.
4. Keep the vegan mashed sweet potatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days.

Notes

• Use any sweetener instead of the maple syrup or omit this ingredient.
• Add your favorite herbs and spices.
