SWEET POTATO ROUNDS WITH GOAT CHEESE , HONEY & HARI SSA I found the crispest rounds were made by dusting them with potato flour. I tried corn- starch and rice flour, but the crispness was not there. Bob’s Red Mill has potato flour, as do other brands at the supermarket. If you don’t have it, then use cornstarch. These are best baked the day you need them. Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature. If harissa is not available, use sambal oelek or a squeeze of Sriracha.

$19.95 This wine’s characteristic herbal, citrus, melon flavours and earthy, grassy tones will stand up to the pronounced goat cheese and harissa elements. It also offers enough body—and crisp acidity to cleanse the palate. Old Credit Pale Pilsner LCBO 644641, 473 mL $3.20 Beer lovers will find that the light herbal hops, citrus and sweet malt tones in this pilsner provide a foil to the dominant flavours in the rounds. In addition, its palate-refreshing bitter finish and carbonation help cleanse the palate.

1 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). 2 Cut ends off sweet potatoes. Cut each potato into ¼-inch-thick (5-mm) rounds and place in a bag. Add potato flour, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place rounds on a parchment- lined baking sheet in a single layer and spray both sides with olive oil spray.
