  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Wedges

  • 3 extra large sweet potatoes, washed, skin intact, sliced into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

Honey Tahini Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If available, select the ‘convect bake’ setting and line a large baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even cooking.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl to begin seasoning.
  3. Mix Honey-Olive Oil: In a small bowl, whisk together the raw honey and extra virgin olive oil until well combined to create a flavorful glaze for the potatoes.
  4. Toss Potatoes with Herbs and Honey Mixture: Pour the honey and olive oil mixture over the sweet potato wedges. Sprinkle in the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and dill. Toss everything gently to ensure the wedges are evenly coated with the mixture and herbs.
  5. Season: Spread the coated sweet potato wedges evenly over the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt for initial seasoning.
  6. Bake and Broil: Bake the wedges in the oven for 20 minutes. Afterward, flip the wedges to promote even roasting and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Move the pan to the top rack and broil for 2-3 minutes while watching closely to achieve a light caramelization on the surface.
  7. Final Seasoning: Remove the wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining sea salt and additional fresh herbs if desired to enhance the flavor and presentation.
  8. Prepare Dressing: In a small blender or using a hand blender, blend the tahini, raw honey, lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and water until smooth to create the honey tahini dressing.
  9. Serve: Drizzle the sweet potato wedges with the honey tahini dressing or serve the dressing on the side as a dip for a customizable flavor experience.
  10. Enjoy: Serve the sweet potato wedges warm for the best taste and texture, and enjoy this delicious, herb-infused roasted treat!

Notes

  • Using the ‘convect bake’ setting helps to roast the potatoes evenly and achieve a crispier texture.
  • Watch the wedges carefully during broiling to prevent burning as the sugars caramelize quickly.
  • The honey tahini dressing can be adjusted with more or less water to reach your preferred consistency.
  • These wedges also reheat well, making them excellent for leftovers.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted or omitted based on availability or preference.
