Griddled Sweet Potato, Gremolata & Tahini Yogurt

Griddled Sweet Potato, Gremolata & Tahini Yogurt

A warm, comforting yet fresh dish featuring perfectly griddled sweet potatoes topped with creamy tahini yogurt and vibrant gremolata. It’s quick, nutritious, and packed with flavor and texture.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Brush sweet potato halves with olive oil and season with salt.
  4. Place cut-side down on the grill pan. Cook until grill marks appear and flesh is soft, about 7–10 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes if needed.
  5. In another bowl, mix parsley, lemon zest, chili flakes, and olive oil to make gremolata.
  6. Transfer sweet potatoes to a plate, top with tahini yogurt, then gremolata.
  7. Garnish with extra chili flakes or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency.
  • Chill the yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast to warm potatoes.
  • Add chickpeas or tofu for extra protein.
  • Roast potatoes ahead of time for quicker assembly.
