Baked Sweet Potatoes with West African-Style Peanut Sauce
Peanuts are integral to West African cooking. The nutty, spicy flavors in the filling complement the sweet potato. Serve with grilled chicken and Broccolini.

Excellent recipe. I was a bit skeptical if the sauce would turn out, since I don't typically associate peanut butter with tomato sauce and ginger, but it was wonderful. I would agree with other reviewers that the amount of sauce was not substantive; I would recommend doubling the sauce recipe. I also think the sauce would pair well with chicken, although I haven't tried it. Bottom line: delicious, healthy, quick preparation, inexpensive ingredients.
I actually cubed a bunch of sweet potatoes and put them in the sauce and served it over quinoa and it was amazing.
An excellent recipe either as a side dish or main dish. The sauce reheats well. The flavors are excellent and you feel healthy. I'm making it this time as a side dish for left over turkey.
