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.

Ingredients

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
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only (1/2 ounce)
2 green chiles, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 tablespoons sliced blanched almonds
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup Greek yogurt

Steps:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, the honey, juice from 1 lime, a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and toss with potato wedges. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender and lightly browned in spots, 45 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse to combine 1/3 cup oil, the cilantro, chiles, garlic, almonds, juice from remaining lime, vinegar and a large pinch of salt, until it forms a chunky purée. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Spoon the sauce over the potatoes, dollop with some yogurt, drizzle with oil, and serve with any remaining yogurt on the side.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes
2 cups maple syrup
1/2 cup yellow miso
4 ounces fresh horseradish
6 ounces whole milk Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Splash red wine vinegar
1 ounce chopped peanuts
1 ounce chia seeds
1 ounce poppy seeds
1 ounce toasted sesame seeds
1 ounce sunflower seeds

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pierce the potatoes with a fork and roast until al dente, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool before peeling and cutting into 2-inch-thick coins.
Adjust the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
Combine the maple syrup and miso in a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Thin with a little water if needed to make sure it is pourable.
Place the potatoes in an 8-inch square baking dish and pour the maple syrup mixture over the top. Roast until the edges start to char up a little bit, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, grate the fresh horseradish into to the yogurt in a medium bowl, then season with salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Mix together the peanuts, chia seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds in a shallow dish. Roll the roasted potato slices in the seed mixture.
Place the potatoes, seeded-side up, atop the horseradish yogurt on a large serving platter.
