Veggie Sweet Potato Pie with Oat Crust - Vegetarian
The Rustic Veggie Sweet Potato Pie with Oat Crust brings together the comforting sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes and a mix of sautéed vegetables, all enclosed in a crunchy oat crust. Each slice offers a robust and hearty flavor that feels just right for cozy evenings.
In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly mixture.
Press the oat mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Press it firmly and evenly to cover the base and sides. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside.
In a large pot, bring water to boil and cook the cubed sweet potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté red onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini until tender, about 7 minutes.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with mashed sweet potatoes. Add dried thyme, ground cumin, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the sweet potato and vegetable mixture into the pre-baked oat crust. Spread evenly and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the filling is set.
