Notes
To roast sweet potatoes, poke a few holes in them to let the steam escape. Bake whole at 400°F for about 45-50 minutes, or until they're soft enough to pierce easily with a fork. Peel and mash or mix in food processor.
Make it nut-free: Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Boost the texture: Stir in pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, or chopped pecans for extra crunch.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
