{Whole30} Harissa Sweet Potato Fries

June 30, 2017

A very nice replacement to naughty deep-fried potatoes and this is Whole30 compliant. This has lesser oil, no flour or breadcrumbs for the coating – so this is gluten-free, too. 

I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately. I wake up in the middle of the night and it is very difficult to go back to sleep again. When I get up for work, I thought I just took a nap. Still, I don’t feel that sleepy. It’s like I’ve swallowed a bunch of energizer battery. I am not complaining – I love being hyper. But having that much of energy in the middle of the night is not good!

Do not tell me about drinking chamomile tea. I tried – it didn’t work. I tried again, it didn’t work. I even bought dried chamomile flowers – still didn’t work. Do I have to drink the whole packet of dried flowers? Hmm, I guess my body has too much energy that a cup or two of chamomile tea is not strong enough to calm me down.

I’ve stayed like that for weeks – I wanted to get up and do the laundry at 1am or iron my clothes, or even do this harissa sweet potato fries again… only if I bought a huge bag of sweet potatoes.  I would have enjoyed this all by myself. But with that very lovely smell coming from this – I don’t think so. The neighbors might ring the bell, too. 😀

This sweet potato fries is flavored with harissa and contains less oil. The coating doesn’t include oil except the oil that comes from harissa. I’ve used the harissa I’ve made and it was irresistibly good!

I served this with harissa-tahini sauce and it was crazy good! I have also tried with homemade harissa and wow – also really good! I haven’t tried the store-bought harissa, but I guess it would do just fine. I am sure this would be great with mayonnaise and ketchup, too. 😉

I am sharing this healthy stuff at Fiesta Friday #178!. Thanks for the amazing party, Angie!
