Spinach Crepes with Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Walnut Sauce [Vegan]

Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 4 handfuls spinach leaves
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Black pepper

For the Sweet Potatoes:

• 2 sweet potatoes, diced
• A few fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Olive oil
• Pepper & salt

For the Walnut Sauce:

• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste, I used 2 tbsp)
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• Pepper & salt

To Garnish:

• A few walnuts
• Fresh chives

Preparation

For the Crepes:

1. Blend or mix the water and spinach, add to a bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
2. Heat a small non-stick pan (16 cm) over medium heat. Lightly spray with oil. Add a thin layer of batter (1/4 – 1/3 cup) and tilt the pan around to distribute evenly. Bake until the batter starts to solidify and bubbles appear. Loosen the sides with a spatula and carefully flip the crepe. Repeat with the remaining batter.

For the Sweet Potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the sweet potatoes, garlic and thyme in a baking tray. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with olive oil.
2. Bake the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crunchy, stirring them halfway.

For the Walnut Sauce:

1. Sauté the shallot in a little olive oil until translucent.
2. Blend the ingredients for the sauce until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Assembly:

1. Place a few crepes on a plate. Add some sweet potatoes, drizzle with the walnut sauce. Garnish with walnuts and chives. Enjoy!
