Categories     Side dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Optional: 1 teaspoon chili powder or freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  • Either scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pat dry, or peel them (I generally peel mine). To slice, use a sharp chef's knife to cut them into 1-inch thick rounds. Then, cut up each round to make 1-inch cubes. The "cubes" won't be perfectly even, but that's ok.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil on top. If using, sprinkle the chili pepper or several twists of freshly ground black pepper on top, followed by the salt. Toss until the sweet potatoes are all evenly coated in oil, and arrange them in a single layer.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelizing at the edges. Serve while warm. Leftover sweet potatoes will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or oven if desired.

SWEET POTATOES WITH TAHINI BUTTER



Sweet Potatoes With Tahini Butter image

Carla Lalli Music, a food writer and editor, is vehemently opposed to roasting sweet potatoes. "I don't understand why people are constantly roasting them," she says. "Roasting just makes them more fibrous and leathery, and they never, ever really get crispy." Instead, she posits that steaming performs a kind of alchemy on sweet potatoes that roasting never does - the moist heat fluffs them into absorbent clouds. And to make up for the inherent blandness of the cooking method, she slathers them with a rich tahini butter spiked with soy sauce, which immediately melts into a mouth-smacking sauce. Her simple recipe ends with a shower of golden sesame seeds and a torrent of lime juice. Try it - every bite will surprise you with crunch, salt, umami and acidity to counterbalance the sweetness of the pillowy potatoes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes of any color (about 4 medium), washed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), at room temperature
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus lime wedges, for serving
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 clove garlic, finely grated or pounded smooth with a pinch of salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket or footed colander. Place sweet potatoes in the steamer. Cover, reduce heat to medium and steam until potatoes are completely tender, 35 to 40 minutes. (Use a skewer or paring knife to check for doneness; the potatoes should be soft all the way through.)
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk butter, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic until smooth. It might seem as if the butter and liquids will never fully combine, but they will - just keep stirring! Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more lime juice as needed.
  • Set a small pan over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds, swirling the pan continuously, until seeds are golden. They'll give off some oil and start to clump together, so if needed, stir with a wooden spoon to keep them moving so that they toast evenly. They'll turn a nice deep-golden shade just as they dry off a bit, about 4 minutes. Transfer seeds to a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
  • When the sweet potatoes are tender, use tongs to transfer them to a large plate or platter. When they are just cool enough to handle, split potatoes in half lengthwise, and season with flaky salt. Spread tahini butter generously onto the flesh, and top with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes of a similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly before roasting to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor. Look for a brand that is naturally brewed and has a rich, salty taste.
  • Add garlic and ginger to the soy sauce mixture for an extra layer of flavor. You can also experiment with other seasonings, such as chili flakes, smoked paprika, or cumin.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet potatoes with soy sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. The sweet potatoes are roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the soy sauce mixture adds a savory and flavorful glaze. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for people of all ages.
