The Method

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Make sure the fries are evenly coated.
3
Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
4
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Watch closely to prevent burning.
5
While the fries are baking, prepare the harissa mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, harissa paste, and lemon juice (if using).
6
Remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and let them cool slightly.
7
Serve the sweet potato fries immediately with the harissa mayo for dipping.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with oil and spices. Pat them completely dry before baking.

Adjust the amount of harissa paste in the mayo to suit your heat preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

You can also use a pre-made tagine spice blend if you have one on hand. Adjust the amount according to the blend's strength.

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley after baking for added freshness and flavor.
