Ingredients

  • 1 large orange-flesh sweet potato
  • 5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked*
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp mild yellow curry powder, plus more to taste
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 3⁄4 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1⁄8 tsp ground turmeric (optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • Blender

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Either wrap sweet potato in foil or lightly brush it with a teaspoon of olive oil. Bake for about 1 hour, until soft. Allow to cool, remove skin, and mash flesh. Set aside 1 cup of mashed flesh.
  3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. Pour remaining olive oil into a high-speed blender along with lemon juice and vinegar. Add onion mixture, mashed sweet potato, and remaining ingredients, including optional turmeric, and rest of salt. Blast on high for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. You may need to periodically stop machine and scrape down sides of container. Dip will keep in the fridge for about 5 days.

Notes

*If you can’t find raw, unsalted cashews, you can substitute 1 cup of cashew butter.
