Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes:

1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
2 tablespoons red Thai chili paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey

Red Thai Yogurt Sauce:

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons red Thai chili paste
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt

Garnishes:

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons roasted salted peanuts, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again, then crosswise into wedges.
In a large bowl, mix together the chili paste, oil, salt and honey. Toss potato wedges in the chili paste mixture and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through and slightly caramelized.
While potatoes are roasting, whisk together all yogurt sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
To serve, spread some of the yogurt sauce onto each serving plate and top with sweet potatoes. Garnish with more yogurt sauce, cilantro and chopped peanuts.
