Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic Cashew Dip

Ingredients

    blank

    • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 4-inch long and 1-inch thick wedges
    • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
    • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon pink or grey salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 3/4 teaspoon cumin

    blank

    • 1 small garlic bulb, intact
    • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 4–6 hours, then drained
    • 1/2 cup plant-based milk, plain and unsweetened
    • 1/2 teaspoon pink or grey salt
    • Ground black pepper, to taste
    • 1/4 cup parsley, cilantro, or chives, chopped

    Directions

    1. Preheat your oven to 400°F

    2. Arrange the sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet and lightly brush them with avocado oil to ensure the seasoning adheres
    3. Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with cumin, salt, and pepper
    4. Lay the garlic bulb on its side and slice off a small portion of the top to expose the tips of the cloves, ensuring the base remains intact. Wrap the garlic in parchment paper, then in foil, sealing it well

    5. Roast the sweet potatoes and garlic together for 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender
    6. After roasting, prepare the cashew cream: Carefully unwrap the garlic from the foil and parchment paper. Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, remove the papery skin

    7. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted garlic, soaked cashews, plant-based milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth

    8. Serve the cashew cream drizzled over the roasted sweet potatoes or on the side as a dip, based on your preference

    9. Garnish with chopped parsley or your choice of fresh herbs
