"French Toast" Sweet Potatoes


“French Toast” Sweet Potatoes

2 Japanese white sweet potatoes
½ can of coconut milk
coconut oil (to oil pan)
allspice
cinnamon
sea salt

A delicious side dish that can even be served as a dessert! Named after the glorious aroma produced.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Peel then slice the sweet potatoes into thin (1/4 inch) round slices.
Spread some coconut oil along the bottom of large baking dish, then begin layering the sweet potato slices. After each layer is laid down, spoon some coconut milk over the top and sprinkle some allspice and cinnamon and small dash of sea salt. Depending on the size of your baking dish, you can stack the layers to form a lasagna-like dish, or keep it to 1 or 2 thinner layers.

Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Check on them frequently, as the baking time will vary depending on how thick the layers are. Once the potatoes are soft, uncover and let them cook for 5-10 more minutes to brown the top.

Remove from oven, savor the aroma, and pretend you’re eating French toast!
