Sambal-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
serves 2-4
A splash of sambal, with all it's fiery chili flavor, makes regular old sweet potatoes into a brightly flavorful side dish.
2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 teaspoons sambal oelek
1/4 bunch cilantro
prep: 15 minutes
total: 1 hour
scrub brush
medium bowl
roasting pan
1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Scrub the sweet potatoes well under running water to remove any dirt from their skins. Dry them and cut them into 2-inch pieces. (You can peel them first if you want to, but it's not necessary.)
2. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the sambal oelek until they're evenly coated. Pour them out onto a roasting pan. Roast them until they're tender, 45-60 minutes. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
