2 pounds sweet potatoes
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (I use Morton's), plus more to taste
2 tablespoons tahini
juice of 1 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup cooked chickpeas (roughly half a can)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch ground cayenne
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into large (roughly 1 1/2-inch) chunks. Add to a naked, rimmed sheet tray and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the 1 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast-stirring the potatoes halfway through-until they're just tender and beginning to brown, about 24 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, combine the tahini, lemon juice, and cold water in a bowl. Stir with a fork until smooth and runny, like yogurt. Season to taste with salt. (This can be made days in advance and refrigerated.)
3
If you're using canned chickpeas, make sure they're very dry (I like to blot them between paper towels). Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmery. Add the chickpeas, sesame seeds, cumin, and cayenne. Fry until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
4
When the potatoes are done, let them hang out for about 10 minutes. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and gently toss. Transfer to a platter. Squiggle with tahini sauce and scatter with crispy chickpeas. Serve warm.
