SESAME SWEET POTATO & SALMON BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Put the oil and sweet potatoes on a baking tray and toss with seasoning. Roast for 15-20 mins. Add the cherry tomatoes and broccoli, then toss with the sweet potatoes. Roast for 15 mins more until the tomatoes are close to bursting.
• Nestle the salmon in the tray, brush with 1 tbsp of the tahini and top with the sesame seeds. Bake for a further 8-10 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Loosen the remaining tahini with a bit of water if needed, then drizzle over the cooked veg and serve.

MOROCCAN OVEN ROASTED SESAME POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Peel the potatoes if you like, but as long as they are well scrubbed, they give a nice earthy taste if you leave them on.
• Cut the potatoes into chunks about 1-inch large across.
• Place the chunks into a bowl and add harissa and toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
• Add olive oil and toss again.
• Sprinkle potatoes with salt and sesame seeds and toss one more time.
• Spread foil on a large baking sheet and oil lightly (foil helps with clean-up later).
• Place seasoned potato chunks on baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake potatoes at 375F for 30 minutes, then using spatula, turn potatoes so that the other side can cook, and bake 15 minutes more or until potatoes are tender and deep golden.
• Squeeze lemon over potatoes before serving.
• Serve at once.

SEASONED BAKED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and coat with olive oil. Mix onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and garlic salt in a small bowl; sprinkle over potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON-SESAME BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Cook bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until most of the fat is rendered and bacon is starting to crisp. Transfer bacon to a sieve set over a small bowl; reserve drippings.
• Return bacon, 1 tablespoon drippings, sugar, and sesame seeds to same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar turns the color of milk chocolate, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread out evenly; let cool. Break brittle into shards. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast until tender, 45-55 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Working over a large bowl, scoop out flesh from 8 halves, leaving a 1/2"-thick layer inside skins. Place potato halves on same foil-lined baking sheet. Scoop flesh from remaining 4 halves; discard skins. Mash flesh with a whisk; add eggs, butter, miso, and ginger and stir until mixture is smooth. Spoon or pipe filling into reserved skins. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
• Bake potatoes until the tops are lightly puffed and golden brown, 30-35 minutes (potatoes will take longer if they've been chilled). Top potatoes with bacon-sesame brittle and scallions.

POTATOES WITH SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce toa low boil and cook until just tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely, 2 to 4 hours. Peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron or nonstick) over medium until shimmering. Add cumin, mustard, and sesame seeds; as soon as they begin to pop -- a matter of seconds -- add potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Add 2 teaspoons salt, cayenne, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown in spots and heated through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 days.
