Ingredients
  

  • 4 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch-thick rounds
  • Salt
  • 3 tbsp sweet potato nectar
  • 1 tsp white truffle oil optional
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

FOR TOPPING

  • 3 tbsp sprouted walnuts or roasted pecans roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate arils
  • 2 tbsp sliced scallions or fresh chives
  • Ground white pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 3-quart casserole dish with ghee or avocado oil.
  • Place the sweet potato rounds in a large pot of cold water with a small handful of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are halfway cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. The potatoes should be able to be pierced with a knife but still have a firm center.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and arrange them in the greased casserole dish. Drizzle with the sweet potato nectar and the truffle oil, if using, then dot with the butter. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Remove from the oven and top with the nuts, pomegranate arils, scallions, pepper, and, if desired, the Parmesan cheese.
