Steps:
- Microwave 2 sweet potatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Peel and puree in a food processor with 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and a pinch of cayenne. Spread on 4 slices multigrain toast. Top with olive oil and za'atar.
SWEET POTATOES WITH TAHINI BUTTER
Carla Lalli Music, a food writer and editor, is vehemently opposed to roasting sweet potatoes. "I don't understand why people are constantly roasting them," she says. "Roasting just makes them more fibrous and leathery, and they never, ever really get crispy." Instead, she posits that steaming performs a kind of alchemy on sweet potatoes that roasting never does - the moist heat fluffs them into absorbent clouds. And to make up for the inherent blandness of the cooking method, she slathers them with a rich tahini butter spiked with soy sauce, which immediately melts into a mouth-smacking sauce. Her simple recipe ends with a shower of golden sesame seeds and a torrent of lime juice. Try it - every bite will surprise you with crunch, salt, umami and acidity to counterbalance the sweetness of the pillowy potatoes.

Steps:
- Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket or footed colander. Place sweet potatoes in the steamer. Cover, reduce heat to medium and steam until potatoes are completely tender, 35 to 40 minutes. (Use a skewer or paring knife to check for doneness; the potatoes should be soft all the way through.)
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk butter, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic until smooth. It might seem as if the butter and liquids will never fully combine, but they will - just keep stirring! Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more lime juice as needed.
- Set a small pan over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds, swirling the pan continuously, until seeds are golden. They'll give off some oil and start to clump together, so if needed, stir with a wooden spoon to keep them moving so that they toast evenly. They'll turn a nice deep-golden shade just as they dry off a bit, about 4 minutes. Transfer seeds to a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
- When the sweet potatoes are tender, use tongs to transfer them to a large plate or platter. When they are just cool enough to handle, split potatoes in half lengthwise, and season with flaky salt. Spread tahini butter generously onto the flesh, and top with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
SWEET POTATO-TAHINI DIP WITH ZA'ATAR
Since the base of this dip is so simple-it's mostly sweet potatoes and tahini-homemade za'atar (a Middle Eastern spice blend) really helps the flavors stand out.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and wrap each one tightly in foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast until the flesh gives easily when pressed, about 1 hour. Unwrap and set aside to cool completely.
- To make the za'atar, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over low heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add the thyme, sumac, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir and set aside.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and place them in a food processor. Add the tahini, water, lemon juice, hot sauce, a few turns of pepper, and 2 teaspoons of the prepared za'atar. Puree until completely smooth. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Scrape the dip into a small serving bowl, drizzle with the oil, and sprinkle with a teaspoon of the za'atar.
- Do Ahead
- The dip can be made up to a day in advance and stored in airtight containers in the fridge.
