Ingredients

6 servings

For the casserole

1 ½ lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
Sweet Potato Fresh Sweet Potatoes Japanese Sweet Potato Healthy Fresh Produce Sweet Potato Microbaker Yam / Sweet Potato - 8 Oz
See all
3 tbsp coconut oil, divided
1 tsp fine sea salt, divided
1 lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tsp dried sage
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups baby spinach, loosely packed

For the binder

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
3 tbsp arrowroot starch
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 1/2 tbsp of the coconut oil and 1/2 tsp of the salt on a large rimmed sheet pan, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–22 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2
While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground pork, sage, thyme, ginger, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles, until the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining and registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–8 minutes. Transfer the cooked pork to a large mixing bowl, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
