How to Make Sweet Potato Bake For Veg Heads

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total) with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While sweet potatoes bake, prepare the remaining ingredients.
  4. Once sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into chunks.
  5. In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, 1 block (14 oz) silken tofu, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Lightly grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared dish.
  7. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup pecans and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is lightly golden brown.
