A surprising dish that turns fenugreek seeds into a star — smoky, nutty, and deeply satisfying, this recipe blends roasted seeds with caramelised sweet potato, a spiced yoghurt drizzle, and a crunch of sesame brittle.

Roasted Sweet Potato with Fenugreek Seeds & Sesame Brittle

Typically described as:

Fenugreek seeds often hide in the background of spice blends, but here they step forward with their gentle bitterness and maple-like aroma. This dish is a revelation: roasted fenugreek adds crunch and character, balanced with sweet potato’s natural caramelisation and a tangy yoghurt dressing. The sesame brittle shards on top make it feel like street food collided with fine dining.

Serves 4 as a starter or 2 as a light main

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
Total: 55 minutes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt (fine)

  • 1 tsp Greenfields ground coriander

  • 2 tbsp Greenfields fenugreek seeds, lightly toasted

  • 200 g Greek yoghurt

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • ½ tsp Greenfields ground cumin

  • 1 tsp Greenfields honey (any variety)

  • 2 tbsp Greenfields white sesame seeds

  • 2 tbsp caster sugar

  • Pinch of Greenfields cayenne pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and ground coriander. Roast for 30–35 minutes until golden and caramelised.

  2. Toast the fenugreek seeds in a dry pan until aromatic and golden, then set aside.

  3. For the yoghurt drizzle: mix yoghurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, and honey until smooth. Chill until needed.

  4. For the sesame brittle: in a small pan melt caster sugar until golden, quickly stir in sesame seeds and a pinch of cayenne, then spread thinly on baking parchment. Leave to harden and snap into shards.

  5. To serve: pile roasted sweet potato on a platter, scatter over fenugreek seeds, drizzle yoghurt, and top with sesame brittle shards.

Soak fenugreek seeds overnight if you want them softer and less bitter — here we toast them for crunch and a bold edge.
