Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes
- 4 medium, washed and scrubbed
- Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Tandoori masala
- 2 tablespoons
- Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon

- Fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, tandoori masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined to form a creamy marinade.
- Add the sweet potato wedges or rounds to the marinade, tossing them gently until they are evenly coated.
