# Liste des ingrédients:

→ Main

01 - 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
02 - Drizzle of olive oil (extra-virgin)
03 - Season with sea salt

→ Tahini Butter

04 - 25g of soft unsalted butter
05 - 1 big spoonful of high-quality tahini
06 - 1 small spoonful of white miso paste

→ Sticky Glaze

07 - 4 spoons of maple syrup or agave
08 - 2 spoons of cider vinegar (apple)
09 - 1 spoonful of hot chili paste (like gochujang, sambal, or sriracha)
10 - 1 spoonful of toasted sesame seeds
11 - 1 spoonful of sunflower seeds

→ Garnish

12 - A small handful of finely chopped cilantro

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Set your oven temperature to 180°C (or 160°C if using a fan oven).
02 - Rinse the sweet potatoes well, poke them all over with a fork, drizzle a bit of olive oil over them, and sprinkle a little salt. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour (times differ by size) until they’re crispy on the outside but soft when you pierce them with a small knife.
03 - Instead of baking, try using an air fryer. Set it to 180°C, then cook the sweet potatoes for roughly 35–45 minutes until they’re crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside.
04 - Stir the softened butter, tahini, and miso paste together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Set it aside for later use.
05 - In a little pot over medium heat, mix maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, chili paste, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds together. Let it boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook until it thickens into a syrup, taking about 7 to 10 minutes.
06 - Split the cooked sweet potatoes in half and place them on a serving plate. Spread some miso-tahini butter onto each half and let it melt. Pour the sticky glaze over the top and sprinkle the chopped cilantro before serving.

01 - You can make the sweet potatoes a couple of days ahead and reheat them when serving.
02 - Keep a few seeds aside to sprinkle after adding the glaze for extra crunch.
