Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 large firm, bright orange sweet potatoes

Creamy Sauce

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural flavoring)
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (natural flavoring)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup plant-based marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them thinly into uniform rounds to ensure even cooking and full absorption of the sauce.
  2. Make the Creamy Sauce: Melt plant-based butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in plant-based cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), garlic powder, nutmeg (natural flavorings), and natural gelling agent. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
  3. Layer the Dish: Grease a baking dish. Arrange half of the sweet potato slices evenly in the dish. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the sweet potatoes. Repeat with the remaining sweet potato slices and sauce, making sure each slice is coated for maximum tenderness.
  4. Add the Marshmallows (Plant-Based): Evenly sprinkle plant-based marshmallows over the top layer of sweet potatoes to create a sweet, golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until marshmallows are golden and sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even sweet potato slices ensuring uniform cooking.
  • Do not over-sauce; thickening the sauce properly prevents watery texture.
  • Watch the marshmallows closely during the final baking stage to avoid burning.
  • Allow the dish to cool briefly before serving to let the sauce set for cleaner slices.
  • The flavors improve the next day, making it ideal for meal prep.
