Ingredients

For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes

2 tbsp. sriracha
2 tbsp. maple syrup
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. liquid smoke
2 medium sweet potatoes scrubbed and sliced into ¼ to ½ inch thick slabs
a few dashes of salt

For the Cilantro Lime Mayo

1 cup raw cashews soaked in water 4-8 hours, rinsed and drained
¼ cup. lime juice
¼ cup fresh cilantro or more if you like, packed
2 tbsp. water
salt to taste

For the Sandwiches

8 slices sandwich bread toasted
4-8 large lettuce leaves
1 large tomato sliced

Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potato

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil or line a baking sheet with parchment.
Stir sriracha, maple syrup, lime juice, olive oil and liquid smoke together in small bowl.
Arrange sweet potato slabs on baking sheet and brush with about ¼ of sriracha mixture. Bake 15 minutes. Flip, brush with another ¼ of sriracha mixture, reserving the remaining half, and bake another 15 minutes, until tender. Remove from oven and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Make the Cilantro Lime Mayo

While sweet potato slices roast, place all ingredients into food processor bowl and blend until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Slather bread slices with cilantro lime mayo and stuff with sweet potato slabs, lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Drizzle with reserved sriracha mixture.

Recipe Notes

You will probably have some leftover cilantro lime mayo. Store in an airtight container the freezer for use at a later date, or keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
