Healthy Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Bake!

I was craving potato bake for dinner a few nights back and I figured it probably wasn't going to be a good move if I ate it too.... sooo.... I made an alternative!

It is a little runny when you first take it out of the oven, but I guess you could add some cornflour or less veggie stock into the liquid mix, it's up to you! Take into account that overnight the veggies will absorb any liquids! This recipe serves 4 and I'll get calorie count up shortly.

All you need is:

1 cup chopped cauliflower
1 large sweet potato (or two smaller ones)
1 tub of low fat cottage cheese (or ricotta)
1/2 purple onion or 2 shallot bulbs
1/2 cup low sodium veggie stock
tsp curry powder
tsp paprika
tsp nutmeg
light sprinkle pepper
tbs garlic
cheese for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
chop cauliflower into smaller pieces and thinly slice sweet potato and onion.
In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, veggie stock, garlic and spices.
spread out a layer of cauliflower, sweet potato and onion, top with a light layer of liquid. Keep doing this until all is used up (you should get two layers).

Sprinkle with light cheese.
Place in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and potato is cooked.
Tastes EVEN better the NEXT day!!! Om nom nom!
