Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Stacks
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds total)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack recommended)
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves for garnish
Chipotle Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-dairy alternative options available)
  • 2 Tbsp. chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water and slice them into thin, even rounds—about ¼ inch thick.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, stack the sweet potato rounds in little towers, layering them three to four slices high.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until tender with a caramelized edge.
  6. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the chipotle sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven to cool slightly. Layer the roasted rounds on a serving platter, sprinkling shredded cheese between each layer.
  8. Drizzle the stacked sweet potatoes with chipotle sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.

Notes

Be consistent in your cuts to ensure even cooking. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before stacking for better structure.
