Ingredients
Crushed red pepper flakes 1 tsp or 0.3g
Coconut oil 2 tsp or 9g
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place sweet potato cubes onto lightly greased baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Place in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until tender, turning once half way through.
- Meanwhile, boil your pasta according to packaging instructions. Drain and place pasta back in the pot.
- In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, dijon, garlic powder, chili flakes, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small pan, sauté mushrooms in coconut oil on medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove sweet potatoes from oven (don’t turn off the heat) and add sweet potatoes to the bowl with all your seasonings and almond milk. Mash well, combining all ingredients. Don’t worry if you have a few clumps. If the mixture is a little too thick, add another splash of almond milk.
- Add macaroni noodles to the bowl, and fold all ingredients together. Spoon all into a casserole dish, top with mushrooms and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley overtop. Enjoy!
