Savory Sweet Potato & Carrot Bake
Full of beta carotenes, this pleasant alternative to traditional sweet potato dishes is
particularly good with turkey, pork or game dishes.
Preheat oven to 325° F. Brush a 6-cup shallow oval or other similar sized baking dish with 1 table-
spoon melted butter.
Assemble processor with chute attachment, ejector disc and shredding disc. Place medium bowl
under chute opening. Use firm pressure to shred sweet potatoes, carrots and cheese. Reserve.
Place clear work bowl on food processor base. Insert metal blade. Place bread, walnuts and butter
in work bowl. Process until mixture is coarse crumbs, about 30 seconds; reserve. Place egg, egg
white, flour, milk, sugar, thyme, sage, salt, hot sauce, and remaining butter in work bowl. Process
until smooth and blended, 20 seconds. Pour over sweet potato/carrot mixture in bowl and stir to
combine. Arrange in prepared baking dish and pat to even thickness. Top evenly with buttered
crumb mixture. Bake in preheated 325° F oven for 1-1/2 hours, until vegetables are tender and
crumb topping is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
