Vegan Sweet Potato Flat Bread
Have you missed enjoying a soft, warm, slightly charred piece of naan with your Indian Food? Well suffer no more! Here is a delicious recipe that will help you get through it =)It is made mostly of sweet potato so this is a great way to get in some more veggies and makes you feel like you are having a treat. My family absolutely loves this flat bread. It does take a little bit of time and effort to make but it is so worth it.

Talia’s art is gorgeous! Love her drawings and colors.
Thank you Marty.
Did you mean wax paper when you said to roll them out on baking powder?
Baking paper. ?
Can I get you to change your recipe so it reads correctly as baking paper? Now it says: Roll out each ball onto a piece of baking powder sprinkled with gluten free flour.
?
Can you substitute another non white flour for the glutin free flour.
You can use oat flour finely milled, Bob’s Red Mill makes a great one.
Do you think 1.5 cups regular floor would work if you aren’t avoiding gluten?
I think so ?
Do you think the binding ingredient could be flax meal? And could instant oats be used instead of flour? Just wondering what your opinion is of these possible substitutions. I might try it that way since I try to avoid all kinds of flour,, but perhaps the oats would work.
I have never tried it but I think it would work?
What a great recipie. I doubled it and substituted whole wheat flour and it turned out great!
So tasty. Im just making some and having it with leftover “butter Chicken” I made last night (which is actually my version of potatoes and peas in a homemade butter chicken sauce (No butter and coconut cream or coconut yoghurt)
That ‘butter chicken’ sounds like a great dish to enjoy this with! Any chance you could post your recipe?

I don’t have arrowroot, do you think tapioca flour would work?
It would =)
Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes. Just discovered you today, and SO glad I did! Marie
I’m still new to whole food plant based. Can you explain how gluten free baking powder is still considered whole food plant based? I thought flours were processed. I’m so excited to try this recipe, thanks for your recipes and making videos — it really helps!
for how long should each one cook? could the be baked on a cookie sheet?
Cook for about 1 minute on each side or until brown spots appear on the cooked side.I haven’t tried baking them but I think it would work. I would line the cookie sheet with parchment paper so it doesn’t stick. =)
Can I press the breads with a tortilla press and parchment paper and then cook on the Bella griddle?
