Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup + 1 full tablespoon, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat & prep. oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
  2. Season sweet potatoes. In a separate small bowl, whisk together harissa paste, olive oil, the 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Pour over sweet potato cubes and toss to evenly coat.
  3. Roast sweet potatoes. Spread sweet potatoes evenly across baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through and just slightly browned on the outsides. Potatoes should should be easy to pierce with a fork but also have lightly crisped edges.
  4. Make tahini maple sauce. While sweet potatoes are roasting, whisk tahini and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Optional: whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin out the sauce, if desired. When sweet potatoes are done, drizzle tahini maple mixture over the top, or leave on the side for dipping.

Notes

Add a few shakes of cayenne if you want it extra spicy.
