Preparation
Start the sheet pan
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch wedges.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 7 to 9 min., until partially cooked.
Finish the sheet pan
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the teriyaki sauce and ½ the ponzu.
- Pat the chicken dry and cut into bite-size pieces. In a medium bowl, toss with the remaining spices, ½ the sauce and S&P.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving 1-inch free on the bottom.
- When the sweet potatoes are partially cooked, flip and add the skewers.
- Roast, flipping and brushing the chicken with the remaining sauce halfway, 15 to 18 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown.
Make the cucumber salad
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions crosswise.
- Small-dice the cucumbers.
- In a second medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, scallions, remaining ponzu, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
