Ingredients




Potatos-
4 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3 quarts of water
3 tablespoons un-salted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
Topping:
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
black pepper
Cilantro Chutney-
1 cup Makes
1 cup fresh cilantro (or more to your taste)
6 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped small hot green chile, such as serrano or Thai, including some seeds
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
 cup fresh lime juice or lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil (Substitute canola or coconut oil)

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice about an inch thick. Add ½ tsp salt to the water in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Add the potato slices and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly soft. Remove and place on a paper towel to cool for 10 minutes. 2 Mix the topping ingredients and melt the butter and olive together in a separate bowl from the topping mix. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place a small batch of slices into the butter and oil mix to coat and then place into the topping mix to coat. Coat both sides and set on the sheet pan. Repeat in small batches. 3 Roast for 25 minutes and flip the slices over for another 10. Keep an eye on these as they will burn rather easily. 4 Prepare cilantro chutney to put on top. Purée all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more lime or lemon juice.
