Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium sweet potatoes
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise and sliced on the diagonal (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 lemon, juice of
3 tablespoons orange juice, fresh
1 tablespoon soy sauce (reduced sodium is fine)
1 garlic clove, mashed (or pressed, (or more, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Wrap each with foil and bake until tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add green onions and celery. Set aside.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a large measuring cup. Whisk well.
  • Pour over the potato mixture and stir gently to coat, but avoid breaking up the potatoes.
  • If you like cilantro (I love it), add in a generous amount of leaves for color, aroma and flavor.
  • Serve at once, or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
