INGREDIENTS
- Sweet Potatoes
- Harissa paste (2 tbsp)
- Maple syrup (2 tbsp)
- Lemon, zest & juice (One)
- Yogurt (200 g)
- Tahini (4 tbsp)
- Pomegranate seeds
- Coriander / Fresh Cilantro (diced)
DIRECTIONS
- Heat your oven to 425°F.
- Wash, scrub and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut them in half lengthways and place on a chopping board flesh-side-down. Using a sharp knife, carefully make vertical slits at ~3mm intervals, three-quarters of the way down each potato, all the way along. Placing the potatoes between the handles of two chopsticks or wooden spoons will make things easier; it will stop you from slicing all the way through.
- Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper and rub to coat. Arrange in a single layer, cut-side down, and roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the harissa paste, maple syrup and lemon zest and juice. Brush the glaze over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until beginning to caramelize.
- Whisk the yogurt and tahini with a generous pinch of salt and pepper until well-incorporated.
- To serve, spread the yogurt into a large plate and top with the sweet potatoes. Finish with the fresh coriander and pomegranate seeds, and an extra drizzle of the glaze, then serve and enjoy.
