# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 204°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pierce sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on baking sheet. Roast for 50–55 minutes until fork tender.
02 -
While sweet potatoes are roasting, trim the top 25 mm from the garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and wrap in parchment or foil. Add to the baking sheet during the final 15–20 minutes of roasting.
03 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccolini and sauté until lightly charred. Add approximately 30 ml water, cover, and steam for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Add cannellini beans, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, dried basil, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 3–4 minutes.
04 -
Toast pecans in a small pot over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add olive oil, maple syrup, garlic chili paste, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and cook 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
05 -
When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins. Place flesh in a large bowl with at least 5 cloves of roasted garlic, tahini, maple syrup, miso paste, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth.
06 -
Spread a layer of whipped sweet potatoes in each serving bowl, top with spiced broccolini and bean mixture, and finish with toasted pecans and sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
For quicker preparation, sweet potatoes can be cubed and boiled, though roasting enhances their natural sweetness.
02 -
For a silkier mash, prepare sweet potatoes and flavorings in a blender instead of by hand.
