Instructions
Sweet potatoes:
- Mix the spices in a small bowl. Set aside.½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder + ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon + ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes + ½ teaspoon brown sugar + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Peel, wash, dry, and cut them into cubes, about 1 inch/ 2 ½ cm.10.5 oz sweet potatoes / 300 g
- Sauté: Heat oil in the pan. Sauté the sweet potatoes, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato cubes and stir for about 1 minute.1 tablespoon olive oil
- Add ½ of the vegetable broth and let bubble until evaporated; it will only take a few moments. Add the remaining broth, cover the pan, and cook on medium-low heat for about 6 minutes.1 cup vegetable broth / 250 ml
- Check the sweet potatoes; they should be soft. If they are not done yet, continue cooking for 2-3 minutes more.
Tahini sauce (optional):
- In the meantime, make the sauce.
- Place tahini and cold water in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.1 ½ tablespoon tahini + 2 tablespoons cold water
- Add grated garlic, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and some salt and pepper to taste. Whisk again, and add 1 extra tablespoon of cold water if you want a thinner sauce.2 small garlic cloves + a few drops lemon juice + fine sea salt and black pepper

Notes
- Sweet potatoes: Not to be confused with yams. Red-skinned and orange-fleshed sweet potatoes differ from yams, which have bark-like brown skin and starchy flesh.
- Servings: A medium-sized sweet potato weighs between 4 and 6 oz/100 – 170 g. I had two, which were about 10.5 oz/ 300 g. This amount would serve two people as a light main with sauce and salad or 3-4 as a side.
- Oil: Olive oil, canola or avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee (clarified butter) are all good.
- Seasoning: Use other spice mixtures you like, either bought mixtures such as curry powder, Italian seasoning, Cajun spices, lemon pepper, or taco seasoning. Check the blog post for more seasoning ideas.
- The tahini sauce is optional but so good.
