Ingredients

For the roasted sweet potaotes

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 tsp onion
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup sugar free

For the yogurt sauce

  • 1/2 cup vegan yogurt
  • 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic

For the topping

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp vegan honey
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp golden raisins
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch thick columns and finally into 1/2-inch cubes. Aim for uniform size for even cooking.
  • In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with avocado oil and maple syrup until evenly coated.
  • Add cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil for the first 20-30 minutes of baking. This helps steam the potatoes and soften them.
  • Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 25-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are fork-tender.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, in a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, avocado oil, and garlic powder.
  • Plate the roasted sweet potatoes.
  • Top with yogurt sauce.
  • Drizzle with honey.
  • Sprinkle with paprika, sunflower seeds, golden raisins, and pine nuts.
