Ingredients

1 sweet potato
1 fresh poblano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup light soy butter, softened
1 teaspoon lime juice
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pierce the sweet potato in several places with a fork.
Roast the sweet potato in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, place the poblano pepper, soy butter, lime juice, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well blended, about 1 minute. If not using immediately, place poblano-soy butter in a covered container and refrigerate up to 1 month.
To serve, slice the sweet potato in half and spread with 1 tablespoon poblano butter.
