Serves: 4

2 large sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch-thick wedges
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
Pinch of pepper
Adobo Dipping Sauce (recipe follows)

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.

In a medium bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, oil, paprika, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper, and toss until the sweet potatoes are well coated. Spread out the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Keep them warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Serve with Adobo Dipping Sauce.

Adobo Dipping Sauce

¼ cup ketchup
1 ½ cups vegan mayo
½ teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon adobo sauce (see Note)

In a small bowl, whisk all this stuff together.

Note: Adobo sauce that thick, deep red sauce that canned chipotle peppers are packed in. It’s spicy with a great smoky flavor, and it usually comes in a 7-ounce can labeled Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce.
