Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed

Method

  1. 01

    Trim and halve 1 cup of Brussels sprouts. Peel and cube 1 medium sweet potato into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 02

    Place sweet potato cubes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 6 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add Brussels sprout halves and continue steaming for another 10-12 minutes until both are completely tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3-4 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth and creamy; the sweet potato neutralizes any bitterness from the Brussels sprouts.
