Yield: 4 ramekins

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1 leek, sliced (white and green part only)
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 3/4 cup Hippie Snacks Grain Free Granola Seeds & Fruit
• 2 tbsp coconut oil

Method

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat avocado oil. Add sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, gently stirring to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.
2. Add sliced leek and cook for 3 minutes more while stirring. Reduce heat to medium.
3. In a small bowl, combine vegetable broth, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp thyme leaves and sea salt. Pour over ingredients in skillet. Cook, covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In another small bowl, mix granola, coconut oil and remaining 1 tbsp thyme leaves.
5. Divide sweet potato mixture evenly among four small ovenproof ramekins. Sprinkle with granola mixture and bake until granola is golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
6. Once done, top with more thyme if desired. Enjoy!
