Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) on the top/bottom heat setting. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into ½‑inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and toss with the cornstarch, spice mix, oil, and a pinch of salt. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, until slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Place the avocado flesh on a plate or in a shallow bowl and mash it with a fork. Season with lime juice and spices to taste. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Wash the pimientos and let them drain. Place them in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to develop some color. Add the oil, stir well, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the skin begins to blister. Toss occasionally while cooking.

Meanwhile, cut the tofu into thin slices about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Lay the slices side by side on a kitchen towel and press another towel on top to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Carefully spread the oil in a skillet and place the tofu slices side by side. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Lightly season with salt, flip the slices, and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the second side is also golden brown and crispy.

Serve the sweet potatoes with the tofu slices, pimientos, and avocado cream.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tofu Crisp Technique 🍳Press tofu for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture, then coat lightly with cornstarch for an ultra-crispy golden exterior.
- Sweet Potato Roasting Hack 🥔Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet to ensure maximum caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Spice Bloom Trick 🌶️Toast the Mexican spice mix in the canola oil for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to release deeper, more complex flavors.
- Lime Juice Magic 🍋Add lime juice at the very end of preparation to maintain its bright, fresh acidity and prevent the avocado from oxidizing too quickly.
- Textural Layer Strategy 🥑Create height and visual appeal by layering the crispy tofu on top of the sweet potatoes, then finish with creamy avocado and blistered pimientos.
