SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE



Sweet Potatoes With Yogurt and Cilantro-Chile Sauce image

In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1/2 tablespoon honey
Juice of 2 limes
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges

2 green chiles, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 tablespoons sliced blanched almonds
