Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet Potatoes (peeled, rinsed and cut into 1‑inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for coating the potatoes)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked paprika works well too)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• ¼ cup Tahini (smooth, well‑stirred)
• 2 tablespoons Water (adjust for desired sauce consistency)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 large Garlic Clove (crushed or minced)
• ¼ teaspoon Salt (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Toasted Almonds (shaved or roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (for garnish) (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes

   Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water, peel them, pat dry, then cut each into halves. If the halves are large, cut again to make quarters and finally chop into roughly 1‑inch cubes so they roast evenly.

   Time: PT10M

2. Season and Arrange

   Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss with your hands until every piece is evenly coated. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.

   Time: PT5M

3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the potatoes for 30‑45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until a fork slides in easily and the edges are caramelized and slightly crisp.

   Time: PT35M

   Temperature: 400°F

4. Make the Tahini Sauce

   While the potatoes roast, combine tahini, water, lemon juice, crushed garlic and ¼ tsp salt in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy; add a splash more water if the sauce is too thick.

   Time: PT5M

5. Plate and Garnish

   Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes onto a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce, then sprinkle shaved toasted almonds, chopped parsley and a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.

   Time: PT5M
