TAHINI & FETA LOADED SWEET POTATO FRIES.

Servings 3

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium-large sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

for sauce

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove small garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro leaves

for garnish

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta fresh cilantro and parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425º.
  • Peel sweet potatoes and slice in half lengthwise. Cut into fry-shape pieces, continuing to slice lengthwise into wedges about 1/3” thick. Try to cut relatively the same thickness and size, so they’ll cook evenly.
  • Place potatoes in a large plastic ziplock bag. Add coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds. Seal bag and shake to coat. Open, and add olive oil. Shake to coat again, evenly distributing seasoning and oil.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread potatoes in a single, even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, then flip potatoes with a metal spatula. Bake another 7-10 minutes, until they begin to brown and blister.
  • Remove from oven.
  • While potatoes bake, place tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt in a blender and blend till completely smooth. Then add parsley and cilantro and pulse a few seconds more, until the herbs are flecked throughout.
  • Serve fries topped with tahini sauce, crumbled feta, and more fresh cilantro and parsley!
