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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, the honey, juice from 1 lime, a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and toss with potato wedges. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender and lightly browned in spots, 45 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse to combine 1/3 cup oil, the cilantro, chiles, garlic, almonds, juice from remaining lime, vinegar and a large pinch of salt, until it forms a chunky purée. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Spoon the sauce over the potatoes, dollop with some yogurt, drizzle with oil, and serve with any remaining yogurt on the side.
