Chocolate Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes are such a versatile vegetable. They can be savory or sweet. This recipe was one of my many kitchen experiments. These potatoes have no sugar added, are vegan AND gluten free.

Prep: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 large Sweet Potato, sliced
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 c Raw Agave Nectar,  Amber
1 tsp Ginger Root, grated
1 Tbsp Cocoa

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and sweet potatoes. 

Toss/stir to coat

In a small bowl, whisk remaining ingredients and add to saucepan. 

Stir potatoes

Cook until tender.

Serve as a sweet side dish or as a dessert with whipped cream or ice cream.
