- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp cooking oil, divided
- 2 Tbsp red curry paste
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, divided
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp garlic powder, divided
- 6oz oyster or baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tsp black soy sauce
- ⅓ cup coconut yogurt
- 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 3 Tbsp diced green onion
- 1 lime
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into ½" thick wedges. Place the wedges in a large bowl of water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425F.
- In a small oiled sauce pan over medium heat, sauté the curry paste for 30 seconds, mashing it with a wooden spoon. Add ⅔ cup coconut milk and mix well. Stir in the brown sugar and juice from ½ lime. Reduce heat to low and simmer to desired thickness then remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried sweet potato wedges with 1 Tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper. Spread the wedges in an even layer on a large oiled baking tray, leaving space between each so they get crispy. Roast for 22-25 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Meanwhile, add the mushrooms to an oiled pan over medium heat, followed by 1 tsp garlic powder and the soy sauce. Mix well and cook until the mushrooms are a dark golden brown.
- Stir the remaining coconut milk into the coconut yogurt. Arrange the cooked wedges onto a serving platter. Top with curry sauce, a drizzle of the coconut yogurt mixture, and mushrooms. Garnish with cilantro, green onion, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately
