Ingredients List
To conjure up our Sweet Potato Collagen Casserole you will need:
– 3 large sweet potatoes, characteristically charming in their rich, orange hue
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the golden river of Mediterranean goodness
– 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, to spice things up,
– A dash of nutmeg, because why not?
– 1 teaspoon of sea salt, the kernel of all kitchen creations
– 3 tablespoons of grass-fed collagen peptides, our invisible yet most potent guest
– A cup of toasted pecan halves, for that exquisite crunch
– 3 tablespoons of melted ghee or butter
– 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, the sugary whisper for your sweet tooth
Instructions
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425 °F, the best and only backseat driver to our culinary escapade.
2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks, a testament to their natural beauty.
3. Toss these succulent pieces in olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Once evenly coated, spread them out on a baking sheet.
4. Slide the sheet into the hungry abyss of your oven and let the cubes roast for about 25-30 minutes. Be patient, good things take time.
5. Transfer the robust roasted chunks into a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle collagen peptides. Mix well.
6. Take pecans, ghee, or butter and maple syrup to make a mouthwatering topping. Toss, toss, and toss some more to coat them well.
7. Assemble the pieces in a baking dish, top them with the pecan mixture, then another 15 – 20-minute bake will do just fine.
8. Once golden brown and gorgeous, let it cool for a bit before digging in.
