Sweet potato rounds roasted until caramelized and golden make the most satisfying base for a punchy, aromatic sauce — and this dish delivers exactly that. The ginger-scallion sauce comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop, with coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of turmeric creating something glossy, bright, and deeply savory. Every element here is completely plant-based, so there's zero concern about hidden poultry-derived broths, stocks, or flavor enhancers that can sneak into sauces and marinades. Coconut oil does double duty — first crisping up the sweet potato rounds in the oven, then forming the silky base of the sauce — keeping the whole recipe cohesive and clean. The natural sweetness of the caramelized potato plays beautifully against the tang of the vinegar and the heat of fresh ginger, so the flavor feels complex without requiring much effort at all. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a pop of color and herby brightness that ties everything together. Whether you're serving these as a starter, a light lunch, or a shareable snack, they look impressive on a platter and disappear fast.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the sweet potatoes crosswise into rounds about 1/2 inch thick — you should get roughly 12 rounds total. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, brush both sides with the 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, and season with the sea salt.
