1-2 sweet potatoes or enough to make roughly 24, ¼" slices
½ cup cashews
1 cup water, ¼ reserved
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt
24-30 sage leaves
¼ cup oil for frying (I used avocado) and more for brushing rounds
sea salt
cracked peppercorn
Instructions
To make the cashew cream from scratch, mix the cashews with ¾ cup room temperature or cool water and let soak for at least 2 hours or overnight
After the cashews are softened, drain the water and rinse in a colander
Add the cashews and ¼ cup water to a high speed blender or food processor and pulse until they start to cream
Scrap sides as needed, this can take 3-5 minutes to get just right
Preheat oven to 350° F
Place slices of sweet potatoes on a oiled sheet pan
Brush each round withe oil and bake for 15 minutes
While they bake, heat oil at medium-high heat in a saucepan
Fry about 4-5 sage leaves at a time for only 3 seconds
Fish them out with a fork and cool them on a paper towel, top them with a few cracks of sea salt
Assemble the rounds with a dollop of cashew cream and top with the sage
Garnish with some fresh cracked peppercorn
