diamond kosher salt
1/4
tsp
ground cayenne pepper
1/4
teaspoon
ground coriander
a pinch ground black pepper
enough oil to lightly coat the sweet potatoes
cilantro sauce
1/2
cup
cilantro- you can include the stems but you’ll get a smoother sauce if you leave them out
2-3
scallions
2
teaspoon
rice vinegar
a pinch of salt
Instructions
make the cilantro sauce
roughly chop the cilantro and scallions
combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade
process until smooth, scraping the bowl as neccessary
bake the sweet potatoes
preheat oven to 450F
peel and thinly slice (1/8th of an inch approximately) the sweet potato
mix together salt and spices in a small bowl until combined
coat the sweet potatoes with oil and then toss with salt mixture
arrange potatoes in a single layer on a sheet pan or in a cast iron skillet
bake until tender, this will vary depending on the thickness of the slices but approximately 15 minutes, flipping mid way for even browning.
