    • 📋 Recipe / Recette

    This mashed sweet potatoes with coconut milk recipe is one of my go-to side dishes. It pairs well with many dishes: roast chicken or turkey, grilled meat, whatever comes to mind. It also makes a great Thanksgiving side dish.

    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • These mashed sweet potatoes are incredibly easy to make.
    • It's a simple and delicious way to use the anti-inflammatory spice: turmeric.
    • This recipe is whole30, paleo and AIP compliant but everybody will love it.
    • It is kid friendly.

    📖 Ingredient notes

    • Sweet potato. I recommend using orange sweet potatoes for this recipe. I have tried it once with purple sweet potatoes. But the orange color of turmeric mixed to the purple color of the sweet potatoes really made an ugly color. And I can assure you that when your mashed sweet potatoes don't look good, you really enjoy them less.
    • Turmeric. This orange colored spice comes from a rhizome (a root) called curcuma longa. Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. To find out more about more about the health benefits of turmeric and curcumin, you can read this healthline article.
    • Coconut milk. In this recipe, coconut milk is there both for taste and for its role with turmeric. In this recipe, coconut milk makes the turmeric more available for our bodies to absorb because it is fat-soluble. 
    • Black pepper. Use it to taste. Black pepper is an early reintroduction for AIP diet, omit if you haven't reintroduced it successfully. Black pepper also helps with the absorption of curcumin by our body.

    For the complete list of ingredients and quantities for these mashed sweet potatoes, please see the recipe card below.

    🥣Step by step instructions

    • Peel the sweet potato and slice it into pieces. Cook it in a steamer for 20 to 25 minutes or until it is tender.
    • Transfer the sweet potato in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the coconut milk, turmeric, salt and pepper and voilà, serve immediately. Bon appétit !
