Creamy Sweet Potato Bake

If you want to cook some really simple but delicious side vegetable dishes for dinner that take up minimal time and effort, then this recipe for a Creamy Sweet Potato Bake could be perfect for you.  You do need to allow the time to bake it, but putting it all together doesn’t take long to do at all. Bake it for about 50 minutes, and you are going to have a dish that everyone is going to love. Sweet potato, cream and cheese..what’s not to love about that!!! Some of you who are strict with carbs might want to avoid this dish as 1 small serve has a total of about 19 net carbs. If you can make it fit in with your macros, then all is good, if not, this is still a great dish to make for the carb lovers in your house. I also love the fact that there is no need to rely on a soup packet to create the flavors in this dish.

Creamy Sweet Potato Bake

To create this great tasting Creamy Sweet Potato Bake, simply arrange sliced sweet potato in a heatproof baking dish. Mix the cream base and pour it over each of the layers, finishing with a layer of cream and adding some cheese to melt on top. Simple and delicious. I don’t bother peeling the sweet potato either (more fibre) but wash it and cut off any undesirables. You can peel them if you want to though. Not a lot of effort required for such a lovely dish. Note that if you don’t have some of the seasonings to add to the cream, I have also been known to use Vegeta powder, and sprinkle a little on the layers, or add it to the cream in their place. Just watch how much you use if you do this,  as it can be quite salty. 

If you are after some more simple to make but delicious sides that are also perfect for a simple dinner at home but also perfectly suited for entertaining, check out some of these other fabulous recipes. Again, the aim is to keep the recipes simple but without any compromise on flavor.

Vegeta can be used in place of the condiments for an easy version of this if you don't have the dry spice ingredients. Fresh minced garlic can also be used.
