Ingredient Notes

• Sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth-skinned potatoes; you can substitute with butternut squash if desired. • Thai red curry paste: Use brands like Mae Ploy or Aroy-D for authentic flavor. • Coconut milk: Canned coconut milk is best; consider light versions for lower calories. • Fresh cilantro: Use fresh for best flavor; dried can be a substitute but will lack freshness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Toss the sweet potato cubes in a drizzle of oil and salt, then roast for 15 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk and red curry paste, stirring to mix well, and heat on low until warm.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are done, add them to the saucepan and stir to coat. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure your sweet potatoes are chopped uniformly for even roasting. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of coconut milk for creaminess. This dish can be made ahead and served warm, making it an easy brunch choice.
