Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds Plus 1 teaspoon
  • 2 pounds Sweet Potato Cut into 1 inch wedges, about 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Plus 1 teaspoon
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • Fresh Cilantro For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
  • While the grill heats, place the cumin seeds in a small, dry pan over medium heat. Toast them, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the seeds to a chopping board and crush them using the bottom of a drinking glass, until fine.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potato wedges with the olive oil, Maple syrup and the crushed cumin seeds. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Make 5-6 foil packages by placing two large pieces of tinfoil on top of each other. Very lightly brush the tinfoil with olive oil.
  • Lay the wedges in a single row in the middle of each package, lengthwise, leaving a little bit of space between each wedge. Fold the ends of the package tightly over the potatoes, then double fold the sides in, making sure the packages are tightly sealed.
  • Place the packets on the grill and cook until tender, and the potatoes begin to blacken, about 12-14 minutes. Flip the packages once and repeat on the other side.
  • Remove the packages from the grill and use a fork to open them up (careful, they’re hot!) Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the dip in a medium bowl and either drizzle onto the sweet potatoes, or use as a dip.
  • Garnish with cilantro and DEVOUR.
