Step 1
Start by peeling and chopping the sweet potato, then place it in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the sweet potato is just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2
While that’s cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

This dish is a fantastic way to transform leftovers into something fresh and exciting. It combines bold Moroccan flavors with a comforting, flaky crust, making it both satisfying and flavorful. Plus, it’s a great way to reduce food waste while enjoying a hearty meal.
How to serve
Serve warm with a side of simple salad or a dollop of yogurt to balance the spices. It also pairs well with a light cucumber and mint raita or a fresh citrus chutney for added brightness.
