SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE
In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHILE DRESSING
Start with sweet potatoes, which are in season, beautiful and cheap, and roast them with red onion and olive oil. Roasting instead of boiling makes a huge difference: not only do you get a rich, smoky flavor, but the peeled exterior is toughened a bit so that the potatoes stay intact when tossed with the other ingredients. You can serve this sweet potato salad warm or at room temperature; it's great both ways.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning halfway through, until tender, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven; increase oven temperature to 450°F. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then tear into large pieces (including skin)-irregular pieces look best. Spread out on the same baking sheet and roast until browned and crisp around the edges, 20-25 minutes.
- Combine yogurt, chile, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt. Coarsely crush sesame seeds on a cutting board with a flat-bottomed mug (or leave them whole).
- Spread chile yogurt on a platter; top with sweet potatoes. Scatter mint, sesame seeds, and sea salt over; drizzle with oil.
- Do Ahead
- Sweet potatoes can be roasted 6 hours ahead. Let sit at room temperature. Reheat in a 400°F oven just to warm through before serving. Chile yogurt can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any potatoes that have blemishes or bruises.
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly before roasting them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork before roasting them. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for the first 30 minutes. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the potatoes and give them a crispy exterior.
- Reduce the temperature to 350°F or 175°C for the remaining 30 minutes of roasting. This will help to cook the potatoes through without burning them.
- Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, sour cream, or guacamole.
