Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, harissa paste, coriander, cumin, ginger, and turmeric.
Toss sliced potatoes with the spice mixture.
Place half the onion slices in a round baking dish, followed by half the potatoes and half the garlic.
Layer half the tomatoes and half the carrots, then season with salt and pepper.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Drizzle any leftover olive oil and spice mixture over the vegetables.
Carefully pour the vegetable broth around the layers.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Let sit covered for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.

Notes

Red potatoes can be used instead of Yukon Gold.
For a non-vegan version, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
A pinch of saffron can be added for extra Moroccan flavor.
To prep ahead, store sliced potatoes in water to prevent discoloration and refrigerate the spice mixture.
