Ingredients

• 4 medium (approximately 2 lbs) sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato cubes onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the sweet potato cubes and toss until all the pieces are well coated.

Step 6

Spread the sweet potatoes into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the tahini drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

Step 9

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegan main. Enjoy!
