Vivian Howard’s recipe for roasted sweet potato sliders with Tahini dressing

Ingredients

• Roasted Sweet Potato, flesh scooped out and reserved for another use
• Vegetable Oil
• Kosher Salt
• 3 tbs tahini
• 2 tbs honey
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• 2 tsp scallion greens, sliced
• 1/4 c cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 c mint, chopped

Directions

Cut your sweet potato skins into strips or wedges. Add enough oil to a saute pan so that it climbs about a third of an inch up the pan’s sides. Heat the oil over medium heat and brown the skins on both sides. Some parts of the skin will be browner than others. Drain the skins on paper towels and season them liberally with kosher salt.

Whisk together tahini, honey, lemon juice and sesame oil. Use water to thin consistency if necessary. Brush dressing on to skins. Garnish with scallions, cilantro, mint.
