30 MINUTE SESAME ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
Serves: 4 as a side
INGREDIENTS
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ teaspoon chili powder
a pinch of cayenne pepper for spiciness
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
fresh cilantro
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil, chili powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring gently every 5-10 minutes.
Increase the heat to 400 degrees and roast for another 5-10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are turning golden brown. Continue to stir the sweet potato pieces as needed to prevent over-browning. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
On a separate platter or directly on the baking sheet, drizzle the sweet potatoes with the sesame oil and tahini. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add a handful of cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
