Cookware
baking sheet pan · can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · mixing bowls · oven mitts · spatula · stirring spoon · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Gather the produce and pantry items, then line up your ingredients.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and smash or mince the garlic; set aside half of the garlic for the roasting sheet and reserve the rest for the aioli.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with the remaining garlic, nutritional yeast, oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper; spread in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice with mayonnaise and the remaining garlic to make a simple citrus aioli; set aside.
- Add chopped tomato, shallot, vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, paprika, and salt to a medium pan; cook, stirring, until tomatoes soften and reduce, 3–4 minutes.
- Add the spinach in batches, letting each handful wilt before adding the next; then fold in the beans and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
- To serve, divide the roasted potatoes and the warm bean-spinach mixture between bowls, then drizzle with the aioli and enjoy.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: roast the potatoes and whisk the aioli earlier in the day and refrigerate.
- Swap idea: use any remaining beans or greens you have on hand, or finish with a squeeze of lime for brightness.
