Sweet Potato Wedges with Harissa and Feta

Easy to make and a great side dish at any BBQ or just as a change from regular potato wedges or chips.

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
• 4 Sweet potatoes - washed and dried with the skin left on
• a heaped tablespoon of rose harissa paste - or to taste
• sea salt and black pepper
• 100g feta - crumbled
• flatleaf parsley - leaves only, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 220C/425F or Gas 7
2. Cut each potato into nice sized wedges - not too thin and pop them into a big bowl. 
3. Add a couple of glugs of olive oil along with the harissa paste and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
4. Mix together (a bit messy but it has to be done) and it's best using your hands as you want each piece of potato coated well.
5. Spread the wedges out evenly on a non-stick baking sheet or use a disposable foil tray if you want less mess. They can be re-used and are far easier to wash up than a regular tray.
6. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes before turning over and cooking for another 20 minutes.
7. Since all ovens are different I'll leave the exact time to you to make sure they are cooked till soft in the middle but not overcooked.
8. Remove from the oven and crumble over the feta and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. 
9. Serve immediately with whatever else you fancy.
