Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

Olive or vegetable oil

1 cup pucker up tahini sauce (recipe below)

1 cup crispy garbanzo beans

¼ cup chopped fresh herbs of choice

½ cup pomegranate seeds

4 sweet potatoes or yams: garnet yam, purple yams or Japanese white sweet potatoes

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Zebra-peel the skin on our sweet potatoes, leaving a little skin on because it holds the sweet potatoes together, but too much skin can make them chewy.
  3. With a vegetable peeler, peel the potatoes in lengthwise strips, removing half the skin. Then cut the sweet potatoes into wedges, 4-6 wedges per half potato, depending on how thick you cut them. Place the wedges on a sheet pan that is greased with oil. Do not crowd your pan.
  4. Bake for 8 minutes or until the underside is browned and crisp. Turn the fries over to brown the other side for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the sweet potatoes and place on a platter.
  5. To serve, drizzle with pucker up tahini sauce and crispy garbanzo beans. Garnish with herbs and pomegranate seeds.

Pucker up Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

½ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)

Juice from 1 lemon

¼ cup hot water

1 garlic clove, grated

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon honey, agave, or maple syrup (optional)

Method

1. Spoon the tahini into a small bowl and add the lemon juice. The mixture will seize up and get stiff, so thin it out with the hot water to make a smooth sauce.

2. Add the garlic and olive oil, and season to taste. For a sweeter sauce, stir in the honey, agave, or maple syrup.

Buen Provecho! Join us at our table.
