1. 1.

   Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly, halve them lengthwise and place in a baking dish. Brush with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan‑forced; gas: level 3) for 30–35 minutes until tender.

   Meanwhile peel and finely chop the garlic. Whisk butter with tahini until creamy, then season with lime juice, salt, cumin and pepper.

   Season potatoes with salt and pepper, brush each half with a little tahini butter, and bake in the turned‑off oven for 10 minutes to melt the butter.
