Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into ½ to 1 inch cubes
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  • Place the sweet potato cubes into a medium saucepan and cover with water. Place the pot on stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and allow to simmer until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow the potatoes to cool a bit.
  • Place the sweet potato and all remaining ingredients into a food processor bowl. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl as needed. Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed. Blend again.
  • Serve with chips.

Notes

Makes about 2 cups.
I made my batch very thick. If you'd like yours thinner, just add water or unflavored non-dairy milk until desired consistency is reached.
