Sweet Potato Two Ways
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato, roughly the size of your fist
- For the savory topping:
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- flaky sea salt
- lime wedge
- For the sweet topping:
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 date, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted, salted pepitas
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- flaky salt
Directions
- To roast the sweet potato, preheat the oven to 425°F. Poke the sweet potato all over with a fork, set it on a sheet tray, and bake until soft, about 45 minutes. (To reheat a cooked sweet potato, roast in a 400°F degree oven for about 15 minutes.)
- Split the warm sweet potato in half.
- For the savory side, top with avocado slices, diced red onion, and cilantro, then squeeze a lime wedge over everything. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt.
- For the sweet side, drizzle with tahini, scatter on the chopped date, and sprinkle the pepitas and sesame seeds on top. Finish with flaky salt if desired.
