Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/2 inch (13 mm) rounds, large
  • canola oil
  • salt sea salt
  • 1/4 cup tahini sauce recipe below, 54 grams
  • 3 tablespoons tamarind syrup or pomegranate molasses, 45 ml
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro coarsely chopped, 8 grams
  • maldon salt
  • extra virgin olive oil for garnish

Tahini Sauce:

  • 1 cup tahini 230 grams
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt or Greek yogurt, 13 grams, homemade, thick
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh, 15 ml
  • 2 garlic finely grated, cloves
  • 3/4 cup water plus more as needed
  • salt sea salt

Instructions

To make the Tahini Sauce:

  1. Combine all the tahini ingredients in a medium bowl, season with salt and whisk until incorporated. The mixture will seize up at first and separate. You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of water to get it to the perfect consistency, which is the consistency of thick cream.

To make the Sweet Potatoes with Tamarind and Tahini:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (232˚C). In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with a drizzle of canola oil and season with sea salt.
  2. Spread out the sweet potatoes in one layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and roast for 20-30 minutes, until brown and soft when pricked with a fork.
  3. Place the roasted sweet potatoes on a platter. Drizzle the tahini sauce in thin streams over the sweet potatoes and repeat with the tamarind syrup. Finish with the cilantro, a light sprinkling of Maldon salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
