Sweet potato rounds roasted until caramelized and golden make the most satisfying base for a bright, punchy sauce — and this dish delivers exactly that kind of effortless wow factor. The ginger-scallion sauce comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop, with coconut aminos standing in for soy sauce and bringing that same savory depth without any wheat or hidden allergens to worry about. Fresh ginger, turmeric, and apple cider vinegar give the sauce a lively, slightly tangy kick that plays beautifully against the natural sweetness of the roasted potato. For anyone navigating sesame allergies, Asian-inspired sauces and dressings can feel like a minefield — tahini, sesame oil, and toasted seeds show up everywhere — but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward. Coconut oil does the heavy lifting in both the roasting step and the sauce, keeping things rich and cohesive without a drop of sesame anywhere. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a pop of color and herby freshness that makes the whole platter look genuinely impressive. These are the kind of snack or side dish you'll want to make on repeat.

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.
