Equipment

- small pot or saucepan
- baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree mashed or blended cooked sweet potatoes, about 7 to 8 ounces (200 to 225 grams)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk of choice
- 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼-½ teaspoon cinnamon powder optional
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into small ½-inch (about 1.5 cm) cubes.
- Toss with a light coating of oil and roast at 390°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes until soft.

- Pour mixture into a small pot and warm over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour into mugs and garnish with frothed milk or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes evenly for uniform cooking and roast ahead to save time.
- Use parchment-lined baking sheets for easy cleanup.
- Add a shot of espresso for a coffee twist if desired.
- If using canned or pre-cooked sweet potatoes, drain well to avoid a watery latte.
- Let roasted sweet potatoes cool slightly before blending to prevent overheating.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat gently before serving.
