Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup tahini paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 3-4 tablespoons warm water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley pine nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender.
  • While the potatoes roast, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl.
  • Gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until you achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
  • Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and pine nuts if desired.
