Ingredient Breakdown (AKA Why Your Body Will Thank You)
🥔 Sweet Potatoes:
High in fiber, rich in antioxidants, and naturally sweet, these root veggies form the golden crust of our tart. They help stabilize blood sugar and support healthy digestion.
🌿 Spinach:
Loaded with iron and magnesium, spinach fuels muscle recovery and brain function—plus it’s anti-inflammatory and super low in calories.
🥥 Coconut Cream & Dairy-Free Yogurt:
Creamy, dreamy, and easy on the gut. This combo gives the tart a luscious texture while keeping it 100% dairy-free.
🌱 Vegan Feta (Optional, but Highly Recommended):
Salty, tangy, and adds a punch of flavor! Look for nut-based vegan feta to keep things clean and protein-rich.
🧅 Caramelized Onion & Pine Nuts:
Sautéed onion adds sweetness, while pine nuts bring crunch and a dose of healthy fats and zinc for skin health.
How to Make Sweet Potato Spinach Tart
📝 Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & grated
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water (flax egg)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika
For the filling:
- ½ cup coconut cream (not coconut milk!)
- ½ cup plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
For the topping:
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- ½ cup vegan feta (optional but so good!)
- Olive oil, for sautéing
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the crust:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the grated sweet potatoes with flax egg, olive oil, and seasoning. Press into a greased tart pan or pie dish to form an even crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until edges are golden and center is slightly firm.
2. Make the filling:
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, yogurt, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. You want a thick, creamy consistency here!
3. Sauté the topping:
In a pan, heat a bit of olive oil and caramelize the onions until soft and golden. Add in chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the pine nuts and set aside.
4. Assemble the tart:
Once the crust is done, spread the creamy filling evenly across the base. Top with the spinach mixture and sprinkle with vegan feta (if using).
5. Bake again:
Pop the tart back in the oven for 10–15 minutes, just to set the filling and melt any cheese.
6. Serve & glow:
Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a side salad or store in the fridge for quick weekday meals.
