Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp (42 g) butter
1/4 cup (60 g) pureed sweet potato (about 1 small sweet potato)
1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
11/2 tsp (4 g) ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup (50 g) toasted pecans, chopped
1 (10-oz) bag marshmallows
6 cups (210 g) brown rice cereal

Steps:

  • Have an 8 x 8-inch or a 9 x 9-inch baking dish lined with parchment and sprayed with cooking spray nearby.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the pureed sweet potato, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and toasted pecans. Add the marshmallows and continue to cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the marshmallows are melted. Add the cereal, folding gently to combine, and then, working quickly before the mixture stiffens, transfer it to the prepared baking dish, packing the mixture into the pan with a sheet of parchment or wax paper to make an even and dense layer. Allow to cool completely to harden, about 30 minutes, then slice into nine 3-inch squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized, firm sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any potatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a food processor or grater: This is the easiest way to get the sweet potatoes into a rice-like consistency. If you don't have a food processor or grater, you can use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the sweet potato rice to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you like. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Serve the sweet potato rice immediately: It's best when it's fresh. However, you can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato rice is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional white rice. It's easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you're looking for a healthy side dish, a main course, or a breakfast option, sweet potato rice is a great choice.
