Sweet Potato Crust Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
• Add the sweet potato cubes to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until coarsely ground, similar to the texture of coarse salt.
• Add the ground sweet potato, almond flour, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder and egg to a bowl and stir until combined. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form into a 12-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with remaining tablespoon olive oil. Bake until browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the toppings: Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli rabe in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
• Set a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into crumbles, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Remove the crust from the oven and top with the pizza sauce, broccoli rabe, sausage, goat cheese and pepper flakes. Place back in the oven and cook until the toppings are warmed through and cheese is melted, another 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
• Place sweet potato cubes into a large pot, cover with water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easily inserted into a sweet potato cube, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Return to the pot and mash 2 tablespoons butter into sweet potatoes.
• Whisk eggs, maple syrup, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mash sweet potatoes into egg mixture, starting with 2 tablespoons of sweet potato mixture, until all sweet potatoes are incorporated. Transfer sweet potatoes into prepared baking dish.
• Mix pistachios, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together until completely mixed. Crumble topping evenly over top of sweet potatoes. Use the back of a fork to gently press pistachio mixture down onto sweet potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned and casserole is set, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, place under oven's broiler for 5 minutes to give topping a little more brown color. Let rest to cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until fork-tender, about 25-30 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 365˚F (185˚C).
• Peel the sweet potatoes, then transfer to a large bowl and mash thoroughly with an electric hand mixer or fork.
• Add the melted butter, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Beat to combine, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating to incorporate each addition. Add the self-rising flour, buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract, and beat to combine.
• Divide the sweet potato filling between the frozen pie crusts and smooth the tops.
• Bake for about 1 hour, until pies are set in the center. Cover the crusts with foil if it is getting too dark before the pies finish baking.
• Cool the pies for 2 hours on a wire rack.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Shred the sweet potato.
• In a medium bowl, combine sweet potato, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• In a greased 6 cup muffin pan, evenly divide the sweet potato mixture. Press into the bottom of the muffin cups.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Crack an egg into each muffin cup.
• Add your desired combination of fillings to the muffin cups.
• Season with pepper.
• Add shredded cheese if desired.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Garnish with green onions.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the sweet potato by steaming or boiling, then mash it until smooth (discard skin). Put it in a bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours before starting the pie.
• Put the rice flour, xanthan gum and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and stir them all together.
• Take the sweet potato out of the fridge and add the dry ingredients into the mash.
• Sprinkle the counter with a few tablespoons of rice flour and knead the dough until it's no longer sticky.
• Press the dough into a ball and then cover and refrigerate for another 30 minutes (I skip this step if I need to make the pie immediately).
• Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface, then press it into your greased pie pan. (I sometimes need a spatula to help pick it all up at once, it's more fragile than regular pastry dough and may need a little help being transferred from the counter to the pan).
• Bake the shell right away or fill it first with the fruit or pie ingredients of your choice. Baking time depends on the kind of pie but it's usually around 40 minutes.

Steps:

• For crust:.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, pecans and salt.
• With a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add oil slowly, continuing to mix with pastry blender or fork.
• Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, using only the amount you need until dough follows blender or fork around bowl.
• Do not overwork dough.
• Form into a ball, cover and let set in refrigerator while preparing filling.
• For the filling:.
• Mix all ingredients except eggs and half & Half and stir well.
• Mix eggs and half & half into this mixture, then slowly fold into sweet potato mixture.
• Assembling the pie:.
• On lightly floured surface, roll crust to fit pie pan.
• Place in pan and flute edges.
• Pour filling into prepared pie shell and bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes. Cover the edges with foil or a pie rim if they start to get too brown before the pie is set in the middle.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Process potatoes and oats in food processor until potatoes are finely chopped. Add Parmesan and egg; process until blended.
• Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Press half the potato mixture into 8-inch round on each prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until crusts are crisp and golden brown; cool 5 min.
• Invert crusts onto plates; remove and discard parchment sheets. Return pizzas to (uncovered) baking sheets. Spread Neufchatel evenly onto crusts; top with all remaining ingredients except arugula and dressing; bake 5 min. or until shredded cheese is melted.
• Remove pizzas from oven. Top with arugula; drizzle with dressing.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse several times to combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and sugar.
• Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining.
• Add 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if needed, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix.
• Turn out onto work surface; knead once or twice, until dough comes together. Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Place dough on a floured piece of parchment or waxed paper. Using knuckles, press edges of dough to help prevent cracking when you roll it out.
• Roll dough to a 14-inch round. Using parchment, lift and wrap dough around rolling pin; carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently fit into bottom and along sides of plate, being careful not to stretch or tear dough.
• Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim. Crimp rim with fingertips. Prick bottom of pie dough all over with a fork, to prevent it from puffing up or shrinking in the oven. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• If prebaking the crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until crust is firm and golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before filling.
