These little roasted sweet potatoes are the kind of dish that looks far more impressive than the effort required to make them. The cut sides caramelize face-down in the oven until deeply golden, then get pressed into shallow wells that catch every drop of a warm, glossy ginger-scallion glaze. That glaze is built from coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, which means it delivers that savory, slightly sweet depth without any wheat or gluten sneaking in ā no label-reading required. Fresh ginger blooms in coconut oil before the scallions go in, and the whole thing simmers down into something fragrant and almost sticky, brightened by a touch of apple cider vinegar and turmeric. A final few minutes back in the oven sets the glaze into a lacquered finish that makes these look almost too good to eat. A scatter of cilantro and a squeeze of lime right before serving pulls everything together with a fresh, citrusy lift. Whether you're serving these as a starter or a side, they disappear fast.
