Oven-Baked Spiced Sweet Potato with homemade tahini sauce – Pareve version

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

   Oven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Peel and cut the vegetables in half lengthwise.

   💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.

To assemble

1. 6
   Mix the tahini and lemon juice and season with salt.
2. 7
   Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.

   💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
3. 8
   Mix the tahini and lemon juice and season with salt.
4. 9
   Mix the tahini sauce with the unsweetened soy yogurt until smooth.
5. 10
   Serve the sweet potatoes with the tahini sauce.
