This dish showcases the humble sweet potato. Its flavor is deepened by the slow-roasting process, which allows its natural sugars to caramelize and the flesh to becomes soft and creamy. Sweet and spicy, the dish is balanced with a mild crema that has been flavored with pickled habanero alongside sautéed onions and mushrooms for some heft. Vegetarian eats have never tasted this sweet!
