Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Bake the sweet potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the potatoes bake, whisk together the peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Add a splash more water if the sauce is too thick.
- Assemble your bowls: Place a serving of cooked quinoa or rice in the bottom.
- Top with the roasted sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle generously with the spicy peanut sauce.
- Add your favorite toppings like chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with a lime wedge.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the sriracha in the sauce.
- If you prefer softer potatoes, you can steam them before tossing with oil and roasting briefly for color.
- This sauce is excellent over noodles or as a dip.
