1 cup, densely packed, cooked and cooled mashed sweet potatoes
3 cups, densely packed, cooked and cooled mashed white potatoes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 sweet potatoes, quartered lengthwise
3 ¼ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ¼ teaspoons cayenne pepper, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup pumpkin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
½ tablespoon ground cumin, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
¾ lime, juiced, divided
6 ounces vegan sour cream
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon paprika
12 (6 inch) white corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 25 to 40 smaller "French fry"-shaped pieces.
  • Place sweet potato pieces in a bowl. Coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until sweet potatoes are evenly coated; transfer to a large baking sheet.

SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE



Sweet Potatoes With Yogurt and Cilantro-Chile Sauce image

In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

SWEET POTATO TART WITH CHILI LIME CILANTRO SAUCE



Sweet Potato Tart with Chili Lime Cilantro Sauce image

Different baking pans result in different textures from the same recipe! I love the versatility of this recipe. Choose a dense, chewy tart or one that is more like a creamy custard - your choice- both delicious! The sweetness of the Canadian Bacon and sauteed onions with the smoky spices enhance the surprising flavor of the...

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

TART
4 Tbsp canadian bacon, after sauteeing
4 Tbsp red onion, after sauteeing
2-3 Tbsp butter for sauteeing and to grease pans
4 1/2 c sweet potatos, grated
4 eggs
1/2 c corn starch
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp smoked hickory salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly grated
1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated
CHILI LIME CILANTRO SAUCE
4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 c olive oil, very lightly flavored, not heavy tasting
6 Tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small pan, using some butter, saute the Canadian bacon, transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pan, saute the red onion and set aside. Grate enough sweet potatoes to make 4 1/2 cups. I like to use the food processor to do this.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the cornstarch, sugar, evaporated milk, smoked hickory salt, smoked paprika, pepper and nutmeg. Mix until well blended. Now add the grated sweet potatoes and stir gently together.
  • 3. Now decide which baking dishes you plan to use and use the remainder of the butter to cover the bottom and sides of each. NOTE: You can get 4 portions in 12 oz baking dishes. I bake them in 4 of the single serve 5 inch Lodge Wonder Skillets to get the dense chewy texture. Or for a creamy custard texture I use 4 of the 1 1/2 cup (12 oz) souffle baking dish. Or you can bake the entire recipe in a 8 inch square pan. I like to bake 2 portions in the Lodge skillet and 2 portions in the souffle dish - that way I have some of each! Have some fun and cook them in different baking dishes and see how you will get different textures.
  • 4. Lift the potatoes from the liquid and evenly divide them into the 4 baking dishes. Pour the liquid in the bowl evenly in the 4 dishes. Top each with an equal portion of the onions and Canadian bacon. Here are 2 before baking.
  • 5. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until the potatoes are done.
  • 6. While the tarts are baking, make the Chile Lime Cilantro sauce by blending the lime juice, chile powder, and cumin. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking. When fully blended add the fresh cilantro. Please note that the cilantro does turn darker and will not look as fresh the next day so it is best made and served the same day. When the tarts are removed from the oven, drizzle some of the Chili Lime Sauce on them and serve immediately!
  • 7. Happy Cooking and please ENJOY my new recipe!
