Ingredients

• 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. sweet potatoes (cut into wedges)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp. brown or coconut sugar
• 2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tsp. fish sauce
• 1 tsp. sriracha chili sauce
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut or cashew milk (plus 1 to 2 Tbsp.)
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• Fresh mint (basil, or green onion for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overlap. Toss evenly with oil and salt. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, tossing once halfway through, watching closely to prevent burning. Transfer to a serving platter.

2. 2

   Combine peanut butter, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, sriracha, and 1/4 cup nut milk in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Whisk in 1 to 2 additional Tbsp. of milk, until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle peanut butter sauce over sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh mint, basil, or green onion.
