By Casa de Suna

Published Oct 26

Prepare to never look at sweet potatoes the same way again.

We’ve given the roasted sweet potato an autumnal upgrade by topping with pickled red onions, garlic-infused labneh, and a drizzle of Casa Picosa hot sauce. This is a dish that’s sophisticated, flavorful, and guaranteed to become a seasonal staple. Pro tip: prep the onions first as they need a little time to stand before serving for maximum flavor.

INGREDIENTS
Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, about ¾ lb (340 g) each, washed and patted dry
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
Pickled Onions
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, strained
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp sumac
Assembly
  • 1 cup labneh
  • ½ small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley, plus extra to garnish
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • Casa Picosa So Pepper or Has Me Sweatin’ Hot Sauce and chopped dill, to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Arrange rack in the center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. For the potatoes, prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then rub with oil to fully coat. Sprinkle with salt to evenly cover. Roast, directly on the center rack, until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, for the pickled onions, combine onions with lemon juice, oil, salt, and sumac in a medium bowl. Let stand, stirring often, until potatoes have finished cooking.
  4. To assemble, combine labneh with garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle parsley over pickled onions, tossing to fully coat. Split open each potato lengthwise, then spoon over some labneh mixture. Top with pickled onions and walnuts. Drizzle over hot sauce. Garnish with dill and additional parsley. Serve immediately with additional hot sauce.
