1 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes, about 4, well scrubbed but unpeeled, cut lengthwise into thick wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Sea salt
Coarsely torn or chopped cilantro, to serve
DIPPING SAUCE:
2 tablespoons organic peanut butter
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 red serrano chile, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the baking tray, then sprinkle with olive and sesame oils, sesame seeds, and salt. Roast in a preheated oven at 400? for 35 minutes or until tender (the cooking time will vary depending on the size of the wedges). Meanwhile, to prepare the dipping sauce, put the peanut butter, lime juice, chile, soy sauce, and tomato ketchup in a food processor, add 1/4 cup hot water and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, then pour into a saucepan and heat gently. Sprinkle the wedges with the cilantro and serve with a separate bowl of the dipping sauce.
