Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Peel and grate the onion. Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess liquid. Add the onion to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the all-purpose flour, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the grated sweet potatoes and onions. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down gently.
Step 7
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the kugel to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the middle.
Step 9
Remove the kugel from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
