Sweet Potato “Unstuffing” (Made Without Bread)

Recipe from the Real Food Dietitians. I have not made this but may try later. 

 

All ingredients for sweet potato unstuffing arranged in small bowls

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed (1 ½ to 2 cups, cut into ¼½ inch cubes)
  • 1 1/2 cups halved or quartered Brussels sprouts
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (3/4 to 1 cup)
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped (3/4 to 1 cup)
  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium apple, cored and diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or sage (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or oil of choice
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries, unsweetened if possible
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients (except for dried cherries and pecans) in a large baking dish (9×13 or similar size). Toss with oil. Cover with foil.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, add the dried cherries and pecans, toss and then bake for an additional 20-25 minutes longer or until sweet potatoes are cooked through.
  4. Remove from oven and serve.

That looks good @Iwantcoffee ...without the mushrooms.  We're not fans.

 

Think I'll give this a try.  Thanks for sharing.

Lots of sugar in the yams and apples. I do not think it is that healthy. Of course that depends on your def of healthy.

Dried fruit has a lot of sugar.

Looks and sounds more like a side dish.  That is not stuffing in my book.  But it sounds good.
