Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp berbere spice blend until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  3. Step 3: While potatoes roast, whisk tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and 1/2 tsp sea salt until smooth and pourable.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle tahini sauce over roasted potatoes immediately after removing from oven, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp berbere for extra depth.
