Ingredients

2 medium (about 1 pound) sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon harissa paste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound) into 1/2-inch thick wedges and place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 2: Whisk together 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon harissa paste, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl, then drizzle evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
Step 3: Toss the wedges with tongs until fully coated, then spread into an even layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.
Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and tender when pierced with a fork, then transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
