Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Spread the sweet potato chunks in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, and toss to coat. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until completely tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are beginning to caramelize.

Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk, 3 tbsp maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth and well combined, with no large lumps remaining. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
