Roasted sweet potato mash with fresh coriander

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Quick Meals Side Dishes
Sweet potato isn't just sweet by name: during roasting, its starch turns into sugar, which caramelises in the hot oven, giving the mash a honeyed, rich flavour. This intense sweetness almost cries out for a fresh, green counterpoint – this is where coriander and lime enter the picture, cutting through the dense creaminess with their citrusy aromas to create perfect balance.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Baking tray
  • Potato masher or fork
  • Mixing bowl

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork, and place them on a baking tray in their skins.

Tip: Roasting in the skin (jacket method) keeps flavours in, and the flesh steams in its own moisture, making it much tastier than boiled.
2 ✓

Roast for 40-50 minutes until completely soft and sugary juices start to ooze out. Throw a clove of garlic (in its skin) alongside them for the last 15 minutes.

Tip: Roasted garlic is creamy and sweet, losing its raw pungency.
3 ✓

Halve the hot potatoes and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Squeeze the roasted garlic into it as well.

Tip: Work while still warm, it's easier to mash.
4 ✓

Mash with a potato masher or fork. Mix in the oil, coconut milk, salt, and lemon juice.

Tip: Do not use a hand blender, as the starch content of the potato can make the result gluey (although sweet potato is less sensitive than regular potato).
5 ✓

Stir in the fresh, chopped coriander and chilli just before serving.

Tip: The hot mash will wilt the herbs, so only add them at the end.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the mash stringy?
The ends of the sweet potato can be more fibrous. If it's very bothersome, pass the roasted flesh through a sieve before mixing.
I don't like coriander, what should I use?
For many, coriander tastes like soap (this is genetic). Use parsley or finely chopped spring onions instead.
