Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cashew Sauce

Instructions

1. Roast the sweet potatoes
2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet. Rub the halved sweet potatoes with 2 tsp (4 tsp) vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place cut-side down, and bake until tender, 22 to 26 minutes.
3. Make the spicy cashew sauce
4. Peel the garlic. Add peeled garlic, just ⅓ cup (⅔ cup) cashews, rice vinegar, agave, tamari, Aleppo pepper, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) olive oil, and 3 tbsp (4 tbsp) warm water to a blender. Blend the spicy cashew sauce until smooth. Taste, and add salt as necessary.
5. Prepare the toppings
6. Thinly slice the Swiss chard leaves and stems. Halve the lime(s), juice one half (1 lime), and divide the other half (1 lime) into wedges. Thinly slice the Thai chile(s). Place remaining cashews in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and toast, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer toasted cashews to a cutting board and roughly chop.
7. Sauté the Swiss chard
8. Heat 1 tsp (2 tsp) olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced Swiss chard leaves and stems, and cook until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add lime juice and a pinch of salt.
9. Serve
10. Divide the sautéed Swiss chard between large plates. Top with roasted sweet potatoes and sauerkraut. Drizzle everything with spicy cashew sauce and sprinkle with chopped cashews and sliced Thai chile. Serve with lime wedges. Tuck in!
