Ingredients
  

  • ½ Cup pistachios
  • 3 Medium Sweet Potatoes Orange (Around 4 Cups Diced)
  • 2 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Harissa
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Cardamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Topping

  • 1 Tablespoon Honey Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400. Place cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Cube sweet potatoes and spread evenly on the tray.
  • In a bowl, mix melted coconut oil, harissa, 1 tablespoon honey, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
  • Pour over potatoes and toss to coat thoroughly.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, stir, then roast 15 more minutes until golden and soft.
  • Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining honey and sprinkle with pistachios. Stir gently and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat sweet potatoes dry after peeling—they roast better with no moisture.
  • Use a heavy-duty sheet pan for the best crispy finish.
  • If your harissa paste is fire-breathing dragon level, blend it with olive oil or yogurt to dial it down.
  • Making it for kids or spice-sensitive eaters? A dollop of plain yogurt and a drizzle of honey balances the heat beautifully.
