Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 200g) Sweet potato
- 2 medium (about 150g total) Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potato and carrots, and cut both into small, evenly sized chunks for quick and even cooking.
Step 2
Place the sweet potato and carrot chunks into a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and let the vegetables simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until both the sweet potato and carrots are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the cooked vegetables and transfer them to a blender or food processor while they are still warm.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the blender or food processor to help create a smooth consistency.
Step 6
Blend or process the vegetables until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Step 7
Allow the substitute to cool completely before using it in recipes as a replacement for part or all of the fat (e.g., butter, oil) in baked goods.
Step 8
Store leftover sweet potato carrot fat substitute in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
