Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 lbs peeled sweet potato wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 2: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 3: While potatoes roast, whisk together 1/2 cup tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Add more water, 1 tsp at a time, if too thick.
- Step 4: Transfer roasted sweet potatoes to a serving plate. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired, and serve immediately with the tahini dip for dipping.
