Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes (With Chili Crunch)

August 3, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never considered tahini for your potatoes, prepare to have your culinary world rocked. Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes are here to flip the script on your typical side dish game—offering crispy, tender potatoes cloaked in a luscious, nutty tahini glaze that’s both addictive and guilt-free. Yes, you heard right: health-conscious meets downright crave-worthy.

Why Tahini? Why Sweet Potatoes?

Tahini, the creamy sesame seed paste, is not just for hummus. It’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and calcium, making it a superstar ingredient when you want flavor and nourishment. Potatoes get a bad rap sometimes, but they’re actually a great source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber — especially when you keep the skins on (hello, extra nutrients and fiber!).

Combining the two is a match made in flavor heaven. The tahini adds a rich, slightly earthy creaminess with a hint of nuttiness that coats the sweet potatoes perfectly, turning every bite into a sticky, savory sensation…

May 23, 2016 Amanda Plott

Another busy weekend behind me and I couldn't be looking forward to next week anymore than I am! My little girl will be out of school and done with her dance for this season; giving me a much needed little break. With the last few days, weeks, and months all blurring together, I needed something easy and light to toss together after milling around the store today for my weekly shopping trip.

I decided some homemade hummus would hit the spot perfectly. I've made my share of hummus before, but hadn't yet dabbled with a roasted red pepper variation which happens to be one of my favorites to buy...
