Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp white pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tsp coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they have released their moisture and are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp white pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a blender or food processor.
- Add the lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder, red pepper, yeast, 1 tsp olive oil, almond milk, and soy sauce.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- In a large pot or a clean skillet, combine the cooked macaroni, roasted sweet potato sauce, and sautéed mushrooms.
- Stir over low heat until everything is evenly coated and warmed through.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and white pepper if necessary.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious roasted sweet potato mac and cheese with mushrooms!
Tips:
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are fully roasted and tender by checking with a fork before blending.
- For a thicker cheese sauce, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper.
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest sauce consistency.
- Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top for an extra cheesy flavor.
