Method
Preparation
- Start by piercing the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 50-55 minutes, or until they are tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, wrap the top of the bulb of garlic in parchment paper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, and add to the oven for the last 15-20 minutes of the sweet potatoes' roasting time.
Cooking the Vegetables
- In a skillet, sauté the sliced broccolini until slightly charred. Add a little water to the skillet and steam for about 3-4 minutes until it is tender.
- After steaming the broccolini, add the drained cannellini beans along with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, dried basil, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Toasting the Pecans
- In another skillet, toast the pecans for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, maple syrup, garlic chili paste, and rice vinegar. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the pecans are well coated and fragrant.
Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove the skins and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the sweet potatoes. Add tahini, maple syrup, miso paste, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth.
Assembly
- To serve, layer the mashed sweet potatoes as the base. Top with the broccolini and beans mixture, followed by the spiced pecans.
