    Think busy weeknights, after-school sports madness, homework, cranky kids. Don't worry, I got you covered, mama! Whether your entire family enjoys it, or you just make a single serving for yourself…it will be worth your while. With only 5 minute prep time and 50 minute cook time, you can be hands-free to do whatever else you need to get done! In addition to being quick and simple, this roasted sweet potato recipe is also totally plant-based, versatile, and healthy!

    Why sweet potatoes?

    Everyone loves the sweet, caramelized flavor of sweet potato, and its health benefits make this recipe a spectacular addition to your weekly dinner menu. In all honesty, I sadly, only eat sweet potatoes maybe once every few months. But after making this recipe, I realized I need to eat them way more often because they are so good and SO healthy.

    Why are sweet potatoes healthy?

    Behind their colorful bright orange appearance, sweet potatoes are packed full of crazy nutrients.

    Sweet potatoes with orange flesh, like shown here, are rich in carotenoids.

    What are Carotenoids?

    Carotenoids are yellow and orange pigments, synthesized by many plants, which function as a source of vitamin A (retinol) in your body. Carotenoids may be beneficial in enhancing your immune system and eye health. The most common carotenoids are beta carotenes, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene.

    Sweet potatoes are also high in vitamin C and vitamin B6, which are important for brain and nervous system health. They're also a good source of potassium and magnesium, which help improve heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure.

    Aren’t plants amazing? They give us everything we need for beautiful eyes, skin, hair, nails, and so on.

    What You Will Need For This Roasted Sweet Potato Recipe:

    • 2 large sweet potatoes
    • Tahini <-- learn to make your own by following simple my recipe
    • Lemons
    • Olive oil
    • Sea salt
    • Raw garlic cloves
    • Delicious toppings
    • Tin Foil
    • Air Fryer (roast mode)

    Cooking Instructions

    For this delicious roasted sweet potato recipe, you will want to poke holes in the raw potato before cooking. Then coat the sweet potatoes in olive oil and then completely wrap the potatoes in tin foil so they can thoroughly cook.

    While you wait for the potatoes to roast, you can whip up the tahini sauce. This tahini sauce is really clean and basic. I love how the savory sour flavor of it rounds out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

    Recipe Variations

    This recipe is fun because you can play with the toppings. Add garbanzo beans or tofu or ground "meat". Maybe try some fresh herbs, sour cream, and black beans. Or top it with avocado and arugula.

    The tahini sauce is one of my favorite dressings. It's so tangy creamy and rich but really healthy. If you like it to, you'll love my

    Prep Time 15 mins
    Cook Time 45 mins
    Course Main Course
    Servings 2 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 medium sized sweet potatoes
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • toppings of choice
Tahini Sauce Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoon lemon juice approx juice of 1 lemon
    • 2 tablespoon tahini
    • 3 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2-3 cloves raw garlic pressed or minced
    • 3 tablespoon water

    Instructions
     

    • Cut 2 large pieces of tin foil, each large enough to wrap the entire sweet potato. Set potato in the middle of the tin foil. Slather the sweet potatoes in olive oil and poke holes in the potatoes using a fork. Wrap the potatoes completely.
    • Set them in the air fryer at 400 F temp. Cook on the ROAST setting for 60 minutes until sweet potatoes are cooked all the way through and very soft. The skin should be somewhat caramelized. If you do not have an air fryer, perheat oven to 415 F and bake for 50-60 minutes on a baking sheet.
    • In the meantime, put the tahini sauce ingredients into a cup or bowl. You will want to whisk (or blend) this up until it’s smooth and creamy. Set aside.
    • Next, once sweet potatoes are completely cooked, using a knife open the top of the sweet potatoes by cutting along the top but not in half. You will want to then scoop the insides and pour the tahini sauce into the middle of the potato. Mix the sweet potato up with the tahini sauce using the skin as a bowl.
    • Figure out what you want to choose for your sweet potato toppings. What sounds good to you? Toasted nuts or seeds for crunch and a nutty toasty flavor? Edamame soy beans or garbanzo beans for added protein? Fresh chopped herbs for aromatic flavor? A “meat” option like Impossible meat or something similar. Possibilties are endless.
    • Add more tahini sauce and enjoy!

    What a fun collaboration with @veggiesdontbite a few weeks ago. We teamed up (in person) to create a bloody Maria recipe. It’s truly our own unique fun take on the traditional Bloody Mary. I’m not a huge fan of hard alcohol but I can do some tequila. And one cool thing about this recipe is you don’t need any alcohol. It’s THAT GOOD! And you really won’t miss it. Thanks for a fun day @veggiesdontbite link in my bio for full recipe on the blog right now.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
