This recipe for Sweet Potato Fries with Rose Harissa Mayonnaise is all about contrasts—sweet and spicy, soft and crunchy, earthy and bright. It’s simple to prepare but feels indulgent, and the harissa mayo adds a gourmet twist you’ll come back to again and again.
There’s something universally comforting about fries, but sweet potato fries? That’s taking comfort to the next level. Their natural sweetness, vibrant color, and soft texture contrast beautifully with a crisp, golden exterior.
Add a punchy, floral-spiced harissa mayo on the side, and you've got a show-stopping snack, side dish, or even a party-worthy appetizer.
Why Sweet Potato Fries?
Sweet potatoes are not only delicious, they’re also a bit of a nutritional upgrade from standard fries.
They’re rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and complex carbs—meaning they satisfy you longer. When fried just right, they develop a slightly caramelized edge that’s utterly addictive.
The Magic of Rose Harissa
Harissa is a North African chili paste made with roasted red peppers, spices like cumin and coriander, and garlic. Rose harissa adds dried rose petals or rose water, lending a gentle floral lift that beautifully complements the warmth of the chilies.
It’s the kind of ingredient that turns a standard condiment into something exotic and memorable.
Mix that into creamy mayo, balance it with fresh lime zest and juice, and you’ve created a condiment you’ll want to slather on everything—burgers, roasted veg, sandwiches, and of course, these golden fries.
How to Make It Even Healthier
Use a light or vegan mayonnaise to reduce calories and saturated fat.
Opt for homemade harissa to control the ingredients and spice level.
Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra boost of vitamins and freshness.
This Sweet Potato Fries with Rose Harissa Mayonnaise recipe is proof that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.
In just 30-40 minutes, you can create a dish that’s bursting with flavor and nutrition. Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or guests, this recipe is a winner.
