From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb purple sweet potatoes, halved and cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 0.33 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Up to 0.25 cup water
  • 0.25 cup Almond Dukkah
  • 1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and arrange the racks on the bottom and top third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, avocado oil, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper and toss to coat. Transfer to the baking sheets and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the sheets halfway and rotating the wedges, until fork tender.
  3. Whisk the tahini, maple syrup, vinegar, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Gradually add the water until desired consistency is reached. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  4. To serve, arrange the potato wedges on a large platter. Drizzle with some of the tahini sauce, and sprinkle with almond dukkah and cilantro leaves.
