Grilled Sweet Potato Salad with Tahini and Pomegranate Seeds
Ingredients
- 3 medium, orange sweet potatoes
- Liquid coconut oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- 5-6 mint sprigs
- 2 tsp. za’atar seasoning
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon
Directions
Bring a grill or grill pan up to medium heat.
Peel the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch by 1 1/2-inch thick, long spears. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2-3 tbsp. of coconut oil and a large pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
Place on to the grill, spreading out so they aren’t touching, and cook 5-6 minutes per side on the grill and 6-7 minutes on a grill pan. They should be charred and easily pierced with a paring knife.
Remove and pile onto a platter or into a large shallow bowl. Drizzle with the tahini followed by a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, mint leaves, the za’atar and lastly some black pepper and flaked sea salt.
Serve warm or room temperature.
