Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional); 1 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 cup tahini paste; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey; 1 garlic clove, minced; 3-5 tablespoons warm water; 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped; 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Prepare the sweet potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Season the potatoes

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne (if using), and sea salt. Pour this mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until they're evenly coated.
Roast the sweet potatoes

Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and caramelized on the edges.
Prepare the tahini sauce

While the potatoes are roasting, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, maple syrup or honey, and minced garlic in a medium bowl. Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Assemble the dish

Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce, making sure to cover most of the potatoes. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve and enjoy

Serve the tahini roasted sweet potatoes warm as a side dish or as part of a mezze platter. Any leftover tahini sauce can be served on the side for additional drizzling.
