Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, salt and pepper. Place on a prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven until lightly browned and tender. 18-25 minutes. Toss halfway through cooking.
Step 2
Whisk together all the ingredients for the peanut sauce. This works great with an immersion blender or small food processor. If the sauce is too thick add water (1 Tablespoon at a time) until you reach the desired consistency. Taste test and adjust seasonings if need be.
Step 3
Slice off the thick stem and bottom 1/2 inch of the green cabbage. Carefully pull off each leaf. Stack the leaves and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl combine the chopped veggies, cooked edemame and optional avocado. Toss until evenly mixed.
Step 5
Assemble by dividing the chopped veggies and roasted sweet potatoes among the cabbage cups. Drizzle with peanut sauce and enjoy.
