Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes (easy + Healthy)
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. With the skin on, cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. TIP: To do this, I typically slice 1-inch rounds down the length of the sweet potato. Then I take each round and cut it into quarters (or 6 pieces, depending on how large your sweet potatoes are).

  3. Then, place the sweet potato cubes on your baking sheet. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer, leaving room between each piece.

  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until sweet potatoes are lightly browned and fork-tender.

  5. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the miso maple tahini dressing by whisking the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste, then set aside.TIP: I'd recommend starting with 2 tablespoons of hot water first. If you want it a bit more runny, you can add an additional tablespoon!

  6. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven. Transfer to a serving plate or bowl. The tahini dressing can either by drizzled on top of the roasted sweet potatoes, or served alongside them as a dip. Garnish with fresh pepper and parsley/green onion as desired. Serve + enjoy hot!
