1. Coarsely chop through the nuts. In a large frying pan or cast iron, melt 2 tbsps of ghee over low-medium heat. Add maple syrup, a pinch of sea salt, and cayenne. Mix well, then add pecans and oats to your glaze mix. Stir to completely coat the nuts. Toast for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the raw sweet potatoes. Feel free to leave the skins on. Coarsely chop your dates and remove pits. In a medium-large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes, dates, and remaining 2 tbsp of ghee. Sprinkle in sea salt.
3. Lightly grease a baking dish that has a tight fitting lid. A dutch oven, ceramic dish, or pyrex are all excellent choices. Pour sweet potato mixture into the dish to about 2-3'' in height. Use a spatula to spread them evenly.
4. Spread crust mixture over the sweet potatoes. Crust should be approximately 1/2 inch thick.
5. Bake covered for 1 hour. Remove lid for the lid for the last 10 minutes for a crispy top. When you pull it out of the oven, drizzle with a little maple syrup and sprinkle of sea salt. Make it "a la mode" by serving with a dollop of maple syrup yogurt!

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
