http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



This baked Harissa sweet potato side dish with a nutrient-packed kale and walnut pesto is super tasty and healthy at the same time. It is prepared with just a few ingredients and makes a fabulous accompaniment to any main meal.

  • 1 kg Sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter, melted (olive oil if vegan)
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Harissa spice mix
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • Homemade kale and walnut pesto, to serve
  1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Combine together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, harissa spice mix, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pour half of the oil-spice mixture in the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Arrange sweet potato slices in the dish and brush potatoes with the remaining oil-spice mixture.
  3. Bake for 40 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Serve with pesto.
