1/4 cup tahini

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Let cool.
