Tasty Tandoori Sweet Potatoes

Submitted by Susie D

"This easy recipe adds an India inspired touch to a meal. The cubes of sweet potato are low in fat & oven baked. I like them with the additional red pepper flakes, but they are optional."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon tandoori paste (I used Patek's)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• cooking spray
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line small, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray with cooking spray.
3. Add cubed sweet potatoes, tandoori paste, sesame seeds, veg oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes to bowl. Stir until the sweet potatoes are well coated.
4. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet & separate into a single layer.
5. Bake 20 minutes on bottom shelf. Remove from oven & with spatula turn over & stir the sweet potatoes. Place bake into the oven for additional 15-20 minutes. Watch closely. They may need to be moved to top shelf. Potatoes should begin to crisp and not be too dark.
6. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Boy were these good! I didn't have tandoori paste so used tandoori powder and mixed it with oil. The day I made them we had unexpected company so I had to divide 2 servings between 4 people - they all licked their fingers and I have to make them again! Thanks for posting this winner!<br/>Made for ZWT 7.

Terrific, spicy flavour, great colour, that looks so attractive on your plate. I used a powdered Tandoori spice and nearly overdid the spiciness. It was the first time that I used this brand. This recipe was made for SUSIE'S COOKATHON 19 Nov 2017

Love sweet potatoes and these sure don't disappoint. Like another reviewer suggested, I made my own tandoori paste and froze what I didn't use for later so I can make these potatoes again. I added extra of the tandoori and sesame seeds. They cooked perfectly and were delicious and a perfect accompaniment to our Indian meal. Thank you Susie for sharing! Made it for CQ4, 2017 - Himalayas.

Delicious! We both made a "happy" plate tonight with these sweet potatoes. Not too hot -- just the right amount of spice and flavor. Definitely my new favorite way to roast sweet potatoes. Served this dish with some Bombay Meatballs. Great Indian-inspired meal tonight. Made for Best of 2012 tag, January, 2013.
