Making Sticky Tahini Butter Sweet Potatoes is both easy and fun! Follow these steps to create a stunning dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prep Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into wedges or cubes, about 1 to 2 inches in size.
3. Mix Tahini Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
4. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potato pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the tahini mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until well coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes evenly on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for proper roasting.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized. Toss halfway through for even cooking.
7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish.
8. Garnish: Drizzle any remaining tahini sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
