Essential Ingredients- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- A generous amount of mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 apple (sweet variety recommended)
- 1/2 cup milk (approx. 120ml)
- A little honey (adjust sweetness)
- A handful of nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc., optional)
Optional Ingredients- A pinch of cinnamon powder
- A pinch of parsley powder (for garnish)
- A pinch of cinnamon powder
- A pinch of parsley powder (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave for about 10-15 minutes until tender. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. They are done when a fork can easily pierce them.
Step 2
Once cooked, let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before peeling. It’s easier to mash them while they are still warm. Transfer the peeled sweet potatoes to a bowl and mash them smoothly using a fork or a masher. Small lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 3
Add 1/2 cup of milk to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix well. Stir in a little honey to sweeten and a tiny pinch of salt (optional) to balance the flavors. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Core the apple and dice it into bite-sized pieces. You can peel it or leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Add the diced apple to the sweet potato mixture. If you have cinnamon powder and nuts, stir them in now as well. The crispness of the apple and the crunch of the nuts add wonderful texture and flavor.
Step 5
Transfer the sweet potato mixture from step 3 into a microwave-safe gratin dish or oven-safe bowl, spreading it evenly. Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, as much as you like. As the cheese melts, it will create a delightful blend with the sweet potato.
Step 6
Place the dish with the cheese into the microwave and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden brown. Microwave times may vary, so keep an eye on it. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, it’s ready.
Step 7
Carefully remove the finished sweet potato gratin from the microwave. Sprinkle a little parsley powder on top for a touch of color and fresh aroma. Enjoy your delicious, homemade gratin!
