Roasted Harissa Sweet Potato Wedges – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Harissa is a Tunisian red pepper paste made of roasted red peppers, serrano chilies, red onions and spices.  This spicy paste tends to be on the hot side, but when tossed in roasted vegetables it becomes fragrantly mild with just a bit of heat.  If you are not up to preparing your own Harissa, many grocery stores sell it in jars, which makes it quite handy.

These sweet potatoes have a contrast of flavors from the naturally sweet spuds and the chilies in the paste.  The exterior of the sweet potatoes become crispy after roasting – a nice compliment to serve alongside chicken, fish or pork.

The thing I love about these sweet potatoes is that you feel as if you are eating a kicked up version of sweet potato fries without all the calories.  Try a batch tonight and taste for yourself!
