at 400 after that after about 45 mins or two we'' ve obtained our baked yam peel it and include that flesh right into a bowl all right so we'' re gon na make these actually wonderful yams we ' re not gon na make them candied yams since you know we'' re not trying to put an entire bunch of crammed refined sugar right into our diet plan so we'' re gon na maintain it tasty but we'' re not gon na be really heavy on the most affordable calorie dense active ingredient so we'' re gon na sprinkle in some turmeric it'' s gon na make it really wonderful vibrant yellow spray in some cinnamon a little bit of nutmeg some vanilla and after that some maple syrup and we'' re gon na do a fast dash of some avocado oil or some olive oil we'' re lowering the calories dramatically yet likewise going to be incredibly heavy on flavor now you can mash this up with a fork or the potato masher I such as to utilize this immersion blender because it whips it around and makes it super velvety after that taste test and see to it it'' s right where you want it that'' s excellent just like that it'' s like trip Airy fluffy yet likewise pack with lots of flavor that maple really radiates via fine so currently

it'' s crazy to think this is practically like 5 extra pounds of spinach but it'' s not gon na fit that we do not gon na most likely to tell soon cuz spinach shrivels so swiftly we'' re gon na aid out the process by creating just a bit of heavy steam it'' s got some veggie brew below or you can utilize some water let'' s go then just do a little bit and that vapor is gon na help complete the wilt to fold from the bottom folding the mushrooms into the spinach and the other way around nice you see that and all of a sudden we have even more room in our frying pan for some more spinach so we'' ll most likely to the side proceed folding whatever together put in the rest of our veggie brew and we'' re gon na capture in some fresh lemon adjust the heat of the frying pan drop it down low our last
