  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  3. Add the rapeseed oil, ras-el-hanout, harissa and garlic to a blender and blitz until it’s a fine paste.
  4. Finely chop the mint and coriander.
  5. Finely slice the spring onions.
  6. Cut off the pointy ends of the sweet potato.
  7. Slice the sweet potatoes in half (lengthwise), then cut each piece into wedges.
  8. Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl, then add in the spice paste.
  9. Mix well, making sure each wedge is coated with oil and spices.
  10. Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn on the grill and grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until they’re well browned and crispy.

  14. Drizzle with the Argan Oil and serve.
