Guest Recipe: Sweet Potato & Vegetable Gratin

Sharing is caring!

Thank you Tanya Pacewicz for sharing your tasty adaptation of the skinnymixer’s Healthy Carbonara Sauce into a delicious healthy Sweet Potato Gratin.

Using the extremely low calorie & dairy free Healthy Carbonara Sauce in a vegetable bake, is an awesome variation for the recipe.

So many Skinnymixers went crazy for this sauce on launch of the cookbook The Healthy Mix.

Instructions

  • **This recipe needs freezing time.***

  • Line a tray or platter with baking paper that can fit flat in your freezer
  • Use a small Scone cutter as a mould and fill directly onto the lined tray you intend to use. Gently pressing as you fill. Once filled to the top you should be able to lift the mould easily leaving a pretty stack of vegetables behind.
  • Place Vegetables Au Gratins in the freezer overnight or until frozen. Then just transfer to an airtight container or zip lock bags until needed.
  • Spray a non stick spray to the bottom of air-fryer basket or place a small amount of foil underneath each to stop sticking.
