Ingredients
For the Wedges
- 3 extra-large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into wedges (skin on)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

For the Honey Tahini Sauce

- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prep oven & potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut sweet potatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl.
Step 2. Coat wedges:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey and olive oil. Pour over wedges, add chopped herbs, and toss until coated. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
Step 3. Roast potatoes:
Bake for 20 minutes, flip wedges, then bake another 15–20 minutes until tender with caramelized edges.
Step 4. Broil for crispiness:
Move the pan to the top rack and broil 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until lightly charred. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with remaining sea salt and extra herbs.
Step 5. Make tahini sauce:
Blend tahini, honey, lemon juice, salt, and water until smooth. Drizzle over the sweet potatoes or serve as a dipping sauce.
Pro Tips

- Vegan Option: Replace honey with maple syrup for a fully vegan recipe.
