Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-5 small-medium sweet potatoes (3 pounds)
  • 3 cloves garlic (do not peel away all of the paper)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • oil, to coat
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roast your sweet potatoes. Rinse sweet potatoes and poke holes in them with either a fork or a knife. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes or until tender and soft to the touch. Make sure they are roasted all the way through and there are no hard spots.
  • Roast your garlic. When there are about 15-20 minutes left on the sweet potatoes, rub cloves of garlic with oil, wrap in tin foil, and place on the baking sheet in the oven. Let roast the remaining time.
  • Peel skin from sweet potatoes. Once roasted sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Let cool for a minute and remove the skin. The skin should pull away from the flesh and should be easy to remove.
  • Whip sweet potatoes. Place peeled sweet potatoes, roasted garlic, tahini, cinnamon, and salt and pepper in the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Whip with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer until evenly combined, about 2-3 minutes. You can also mash with a potato masher if you don't have a mixer. Try not to over-mix.
  • Enjoy! Garnish with more tahini and cinnamon and enjoy!
