Sweet Potato Au Gratin [Food Processor Attachment]

Enjoy a simply-made dish with the combined utility of your Vitamix blending container and food processor.

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 medium (80 g) shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) Coconut Cashew Cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) Grease a 9x9 (23cm x 23cm) baking dish and set aside. Fit the Food Processor with the thin Slicing Disc.
  2. Start the processor and, using the Food Pusher, feed the sweet potato through the Small Food Chute opening. If item is too large, cut to size and feed through the Large Food Chute opening. Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potatoes and shallot.
  3. Line the sweet potato slices and shallots in the greased 9x9 baking dish on their side, rather than traditionally flat. Sprinkle with minced garlic and pour Coconut Cashew Cream over the top, spreading evenly.
  4. Cover with foil and place in preheated oven for 1 hour, covered. After 1 hour, remove the foil and cook for an additional 1/2 hour or until potatoes are tender.
