Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Tahini Sauce - Simple & Healthy
A roasted sweet potato salad with tahini sauce is the perfect choice when you crave something special that is both healthy and quick to make. As a hobby cook, I love the combination of the caramelized, sweet roasted flavors of the sweet potato and the nutty, creamy tahini dressing. This dish is inspired by oriental cuisine and brings a lot of color to your plate. It's true soul food that you can easily conjure up in your own kitchen without relying on store-bought sauces. Preparation is uncomplicated: the potato cubes are roasted golden brown in the oven while you freshly mix the sauce from a few high-quality ingredients. Roasting brings out the full flavor of the vegetables and harmonizes wonderfully with the freshness of lemon and parsley. Whether as a light dinner or a nutritious lunch highlight – this salad convinces with its texture and the harmonious balance of spices. You definitely have to try it!
Ingredients
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat), as we need high heat for the perfect flavor.
Cut the sweet potato (1) into even, bite-sized cubes so they cook through at the same time.
Mix the sweet potato (1) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with the olive oil (15 ml) and a pinch of sea salt (2 g).
Slide the tray into the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until the cubes are beautifully crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Meanwhile, whisk the tahini (30 g) with the lemon juice (0.5) and water (20 ml) in a small bowl until you have a creamy sauce – make sure it is smooth.
Remove the sweet potato (1) from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Drizzle generously with the tahini (30 g) sauce and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley (5 g) – your little moment of pleasure is ready!
