- Prepare the Sweet Potato & Carrot Mash
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC (400ºF) bake function. Line two roasting trays with baking paper. Cut the sweet potato into halves (if you are using a very large sweet potato cut it into quarters). Peel and cut the carrot into small cubes. Place the carrots into one roasting tray and the sweet potato halves into another. Drizzle the sweet potato and carrot in olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly covered in oil. Place the roasting trays into the oven.
- Roast the carrot for about 45 to 55 minutes until soft and golden. You know the carrot is done once you can mash it easily using a fork. Turn the carrots once or twice during cooking. Once cooked, remove from oven and set aside.
- Depending on the size of your sweet potatoes they might take between 30 to 40 minutes to roast. Remove from the oven once they are very soft to touch and can be mashed using a fork.
- Reduce oven heat to 180ºC (350ºF).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and then add to a large mixing bowl along with the roasted carrots. Roughly mash. Then add a pinch of salt and pepper, the ground cinnamon, maple syrup and butter or dairy free spread. Mash again until smooth (you can cheat by using a food processor to puree the mash). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Make the Pumpkin Seed Topping
- Heat a large frypan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds (or chopped pecans) and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. If you see any smoke or if they are browning too quickly turn down the heat to low.
- After a few minutes add the olive oil, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Add a pinch of nutmeg, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently until the pumpkin seeds (or pecans) are coated. Remove from heat and place to one side.
- Divide the mashed sweet potato and carrot mixture evenly into the ramekins (grease them first) or into 20cm by 20cm (8 inch by 8 inch) dish ( this size dish for 6 serves). Top with the toasted pumpkin seed mixture and some cubed butter or dairy free spread.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until warm and fragrant. Rest for a few minutes, then serve.
- Notes: These low FODMAP sweet potato casseroles are lovely fresh, however they will last for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. Heat any leftovers in the oven or microwave until warm.
