Mini Vegan Pecan Pies

If you want to enjoy pecan pie in a small, bite-size form, without going through the trouble of slicing it, this recipe will be your cup of tea. The list of ingredients is pretty much the same as for the regular pecan pie, so the flavor won’t be affected.

Vegan Pecan Pie Cups

Another delicious bite-sized dessert you can make with pecans, these pie cups are truly a sweet delight. The recipe offers a slight improvement on regular pecan pies because Ania added some dark chocolate and caramel to the mix this time around.

The delicious recipe for crispy vegan hash browns, shared by Ania of Lazy Cat Kitchen, is incredibly easy to pull off, and you’ll only need three ingredients and seasoning to do it on your own.

If you’re always searching for new ways to eat your potatoes, this idea is definitely worthy of your time, especially since it takes a little bit more than 30 minutes to prepare it.

Ingredients:

• 450 g / 1 lb starchy variety potatoes, peeled
• heaped ½ tsp salt
• 1 large shallot or ½ large onion, finely grated or chopped
• a good grind of black pepper, adjust to taste
• oil or oil spray

Instructions:

1. If you want crispy hash browns with a softer interior, parboil medium potatoes for 5 minutes, drain, and allow them to cool completely.
2. Grate raw or cooled parboiled potatoes coarsely in a food processor or using a manual grater.
3. Preheat the oven to 180° C / 355° F (no fan) for raw potato hash browns and 200° C / 390° F for par-boiled potato ones. Get a non-stick baking sheet and a round cookie cutter or an egg ring ready.
4. Place grated potatoes and remaining ingredients in a bowl. If using raw potatoes, set the mixture aside for 10 minutes. If using parboiled potatoes, there is no need to do that and skip the next step too.
5. After 10 minutes, place the raw potato mixture in the middle of a clean muslin cloth or kitchen towel and squeeze all the excess moisture out. Drain the water away and you will end up with potato starch stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Break compacted mixture up with a fork or your hands after squeezing the liquid out.
6. Using a brush or an oil spray, spread a bit of oil underneath each hash brown, place a cookie cutter on the oiled area and loosely pile the mixture inside the cookie cutter (to just under 1 cm / 0.35 ” height), but DON’T COMPACT the mixture. Use a fork to ensure the mixture is spread fairly evenly and it goes all the way to the edges – make sure the mixture is piled up loosely – this way it will cook all the way through and the hash browns won’t be tough.
7. Bake the raw potato hash browns for 20 minutes and parboil ones for about 10 then carefully detach from the tray using a flat spatula. Brush the surface of the baking tray with oil again and flip each hash brown making sure that it sits directly on the oiled patch. Bake for a further 15-20 minutes (raw potato hash browns) and 10-15 minutes (parboiled potato hash browns).
8. Serve straight away with vegan sour cream/creme fraiche or ketchup, whichever takes your fancy.
