1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast, turning halfway through, until tender, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven; increase oven temperature to 450u00b0F. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then tear into large pieces (including skin)-irregular pieces look best. Spread out on the same baking sheet and roast until browned and crisp around the edges, 20-25 minutes.
2
Combine yogurt, chile, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt. Coarsely crush sesame seeds on a cutting board with a flat-bottomed mug (or leave them whole).
3
Spread chile yogurt on a platter; top with sweet potatoes. Scatter mint, sesame seeds, and sea salt over; drizzle with oil.
4
Sweet potatoes can be roasted 6 hours ahead. Let sit at room temperature. Reheat in a 400u00b0F oven just to warm through before serving. Chile yogurt can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
