Today’s recipe appeals to me in all respects. It’s spicy, Thai, and there are two fabulous ingredients there: sweet potatoes and peanut butter. More or less everything I like in a recipe. Sweet potato lovers, you will enjoy this original and relatively healthy recipe which is also both vegan and gluten-free. Tasty Recipe of Baked Sweet Potato and thai peanut sauce.

If you look a little closer, it’s a bit like a revisited Pad Thai , with some fairly similar toppings. I was also inspired by my Pad Thai-style vegan quinoa salad for the Thai-inspired sauce that goes wonderfully with the other ingredients.

We can make the creamy, and spicy sauce from the following ingredients:

Peanut butter
Sriracha sauce (or other equivalent hot sauce)
Lemon juice
Grated fresh ginger

Once the ingredients are mixed together, add a little water to thicken until the desired texture is obtained, creamy without being too thick. You can also play with lime juice and fresh ginger to adjust the seasoning. We can store the sauce in an airtight glass jar placed in the refrigerator and reused later to decorate your salads.

What about sweet potatoes now?

We simply prepare them here: cut into quarters, generously seasoned and roasted in the oven. Sweet potatoes are a bit of a sweet treat and I never get tired of them, whether they are sweet or savory (even if the latter is more common).

When the sweet potatoes are ready, i.e. relatively crispy on the surface and very soft inside, transfer them directly from the oven to a serving dish or directly to the plate.

Decorate with a mixture of finely chopped fresh red cabbage, fresh coriander and grilled cashews. I grill them in the oven for a few minutes on the grill position until they turn a pretty golden-golden color. A few thin rings of chili and lime wedges. Drizzle Thai peanut butter sauce, and it’s ready!

We can also imagine adapting this recipe with other vegetables roasted in the oven. In particular root and seasonal vegetables which will easily add to the dish of sweet potatoes: squash wedges, carrots, cauliflower or even why not kale chips!

The sauce will easily add to these types of vegetables that are particularly popular in this season and until the end of winter. I now let you make your own opinion by leaving you with the recipe – extremely easy and quick to prepare. Enjoy your meal !
