Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss sweet potato chunks and red onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden at the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
While the root vegetables roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccolini in a single layer if possible and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, allowing the stems to get slightly charred and tender-crisp. In the last minute, add the minced garlic and toss quickly so it softens without burning. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, a pinch of salt, and pepper until smooth and pourable.
In a serving bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes and red onions, then top with the stir-fried broccolini. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Season to taste with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon.
Serve warm. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds, or a dusting of za’atar.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the roasting pan for better browning. Watch the garlic closely to prevent burning.
