Cooking Method: Roasting

Roast Chicken with Sumac, Za’atar, and Lemon

I seem to be cooking my way through all my Yotam Ottolenghi cookbooks. This Roast Chicken with Sumac, Za'atar, and Lemon is so easy, done on a sheet pan in the oven. Ottolenghi uses a combination of the exotic flavors of sumac and za'atar with lemon which is inspired by a Palestinian dish called m'sakhan. Za' atar is a Middle Eastern blend of dried thyme, toasted sesame seeds, salt, and herbs.

One Pot Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas and Yogurt

This One Pot Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas and Yogurt is a fuss-free dish that’s easy to make at home. Spicy, fragrant harissa reduces and coats the chicken and chickpeas as they roast, and a creamy yogurt harissa sauce finishes it all off. Harissa is what my husband calls the ketchup of north Africa. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made with roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It's so good, I can't wait to make it again!

Crispy Caramelized Sweet Potatoes

These Crispy Caramelized Sweet Potatoes use a mandoline. By thinly slicing the potatoes and standing them upright, the edges become crispy. There is also a brown sugar-ginger glaze which makes them caramelized in the oven.
