Description
A vibrant and nourishing side dish featuring sautéed broccolini, roasted sweet potatoes, and a creamy tahini-lemon drizzle, topped with pomegranate seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into chunks
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the chopped sweet potato and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- Roast the vegetables for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and tender.
- While the vegetables roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the trimmed broccolini and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, turning frequently, until stems are tender-crisp and edges show light char. Add the minced garlic in the last minute to avoid burning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, a pinch of salt, and pepper until smooth and pourable. If the tahini is thick, add an extra teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- In a serving bowl, layer the roasted sweet potato and red onion, then top with stir-fried broccolini.
- Drizzle with the tahini dressing and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top. Serve warm.
Notes
Keep broccolini and sweet potato separate when storing to maintain texture. Use warm water to adjust tahini consistency if necessary.
