Sweet Potatoes With Charred Lemons and Crunchies

With custardy insides and charred exteriors, these sweet potatoes are everything you always wish roasted sweet potatoes could be. A crunchy mixture of toasted nuts and seeds provides pops of texture and spice, and a cooling lemony yogurt sauce cuts through the richness. Don't skip charring the lemons—it's not just a cute party trick: Caramelizing the sugars tames some of the acidity even as the juice remains fresh and bright. Plus, you'll use that lemon-infused oil to crisp the nuts. Arrange the sweet potatoes on a platter and serve with bread, pita, or crunchy vegetables, like carrots and radishes, for swiping up any leftover yogurt.
