Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 cup pomegranate seeds
Kosher salt, to taste
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
- Prepare the Coconut Milk: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, slice them open lengthwise. Drizzle each potato with the warm coconut milk and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste.
- Add Toppings: Top the sweet potatoes with toasted coconut flakes, chopped cilantro, and a generous sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.
- Serve with Lime: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
