Discover vibrant turmeric-spiced sweet potato flatbread with caramelized onion swirl, a nutritious vegan delight perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 1 large, peeled and cubed
- • all-purpose flour: 2 cups
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- • water: 3/4 cup, warm
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • onion: 1 large, thinly sliced
- • balsamic vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Boil the sweet potato cubes in a medium saucepan until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth, then let cool slightly.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, turmeric powder, salt, and baking powder. Add the mashed sweet potato and warm water, mixing to form a soft dough.
- 4 Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 5 While the dough rests, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and black pepper, then set aside to cool.
- 6 Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 7 Spread a thin layer of caramelized onions on each circle of dough, then gently roll up and coil into a spiral shape.
- 8 Place the coiled flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with the remaining olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- 9 Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • This turmeric-spiced sweet potato flatbread pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad, highlighting the vibrant colors and flavors of the dish. Try it alongside a simple cucumber and tomato salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, serve with a bowl of lentil soup or a spicy chickpea stew to complement the earthy tones of the flatbread. For a beverage pairing, consider a glass of iced hibiscus tea, which will enhance the turmeric's warm notes while providing a refreshing balance. Alternatively, a light, citrus-infused sparkling water can add a crisp contrast to the bread's rich flavors.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To maintain their softness, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel before placing them in the container. For longer storage, freeze the flatbreads in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag once fully frozen. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
