Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the cilantro and parsley.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the red chili flakes, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
Remove the skillet from heat and set aside the spice mixture.
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them back to the large mixing bowl.
Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Season the potatoes with sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, chopped cilantro, and parsley. Toss again to combine.
Juice the lemon and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the Batata Harra.
Serve the Batata Harra warm, garnished with additional chopped herbs if desired.
