Total time: 55 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 45 min • Serves: 8 • Difficulty: Easy
The star of this simple sheet-pan dinner is harissa, a spicy North African paste made with chiles, garlic, olive oil, and spices. If you’re concerned about popping open a whole jar to use only a teaspoon, know that harissa stays good in the fridge for months and has endless culinary applications. Use it to add heat to marinades for beef, pork, or chicken, or try it stirred into mayonnaise, hummus, or Greek yogurt for a sandwich spread or dip.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.

Add the potatoes to the pan and coat with cooking spray. Season with 1⁄4 tsp of the salt. Roast for 15 minutes.
