Ingredients

2-3 small sweet potatoes sliced in half, lengthwise
olive oil for brushing
1/4 cup olive oil, coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup shallot very finely diced
2 tsp ginger finely minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
salt to taste
3 scallions sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 428F (220C°).
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Brush or spray with olive oil.
Roast 30-40 minutes until fork tender (check at 30 mins, keeping in mind they need may need longer if very large).
While they are roasting make the dressing. Heat the oil or butter or ghee over medium low heat, add the shallot and carefully sauté until golden, stirring often about 5-6 minutes. Add the ginger, cook 2-3 more minutes. Add the soy sauce. Stir in the soy sauce as best you can, simmering for about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Once the sweet potatoes are caramelized to your liking, spoon the dressing over each one.
Sprinkle with a little finishing salt and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
Enjoy as a side dish or as a vegan main, along with a salad.
