Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes (With Chili Crunch)

August 3, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never considered tahini for your potatoes, prepare to have your culinary world rocked. Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes are here to flip the script on your typical side dish game—offering crispy, tender potatoes cloaked in a luscious, nutty tahini glaze that’s both addictive and guilt-free. Yes, you heard right: health-conscious meets downright crave-worthy.

Why Tahini? Why Sweet Potatoes?

Tahini, the creamy sesame seed paste, is not just for hummus. It’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and calcium, making it a superstar ingredient when you want flavor and nourishment. Potatoes get a bad rap sometimes, but they’re actually a great source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber — especially when you keep the skins on (hello, extra nutrients and fiber!).

Combining the two is a match made in flavor heaven. The tahini adds a rich, slightly earthy creaminess with a hint of nuttiness that coats the sweet potatoes perfectly, turning every bite into a sticky, savory sensation…

Broccoli Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes

January 7, 2023 Amanda Plott

The russet potatoes are HUGE here right now and I love getting to play around with them to use them as more of a meal than a side, and the bigger ones allow me to do that more easily. I was also really vibing with broccoli and cheese so I thought I’d put the two together. These Broccoli Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes are so big that they could definitely be used as a meal in themself which is basically what I ended up doing.

They also can be made ahead of time and then put through the final bake when you’re ready to enjoy them. I had planned to end up with two servings, but they were so big that I opted to go with twice baked rather than just a loaded potato. So I cooked two up for dinner one night and saved the other two for lunch the next day…

Pistou Soup

August 14, 2022 Amanda Plott

I know what you’re thinking… Soup? In the Summer?! Yeah, yeah. Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part, but sometimes you have to lure the cooler weather in by enticing it with appropriate foods. I don’t know, maybe it’s working. It’s at least coming off the triple digits for a few days here. That being said, this Pistou Soup is very light and definitely is more of a Spring or Summer soup because of that.

It starts off with a base of onion, leek, and celery and is then layered with some potato, green beans, peas and more! Like I said, this is soup that’s packed with vegetables while also being meatless. The soup is topped off with a pistou, which is basically a pesto that’s made with basil, garlic, and some cheese too…

Salt & Vinegar Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

June 12, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s almost too hot outside here to grill lately. Almost, but not quite. And being as my kiddo is in love with steak right now, it’s become a part of the weekly rotation. Even if a good steak is on the meal plan each week, I like to keep things fresh and new as far as the sides go. That’s where these Salt & Vinegar Roasted Fingerling Potatoes come in.

I got my hands on some local fingerling potatoes recently, the yellow ones are ‘banana’ fingerlings and then I also got some purple fingerlings. Instead of just the usual oil and salt, I took them a step further this time and pre-cooked them in some vinegar. What’s the point of that, you ask…?…
