Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Slice @sweet potatoes{2%medium} into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Toss on a #baking sheet{} with a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp}, @harissa powder{2%tsp}, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack, flipping halfway through, until tender ~{20%minutes}.

While sweet potatoes roast, peel and mince half the @garlic{1%clove}. Halve the @cucumber{1%English} lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Pick and roughly chop fronds from @dill{1%bunch} until you have 2 tsp. Halve, pit, and peel the @avocado{1%ripe}, then thinly slice.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @mayonnaise{2%tbsp}, a pinch of minced garlic, and a pinch of harissa powder. Taste and add more garlic and harissa powder if desired. Season with salt and pepper.

In a #medium bowl{}, toss together cucumber, chopped dill, @white wine vinegar{1%tbsp}, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Halve the @whole wheat pitas{4%pieces} to create pockets and place on a second #baking sheet{}. When sweet potatoes have 2-3 minutes left, add pitas to the top rack and toast until warmed through and still soft ~{3%minutes}.

Spread harissa mayo inside each toasted pita half, then fill with sweet potatoes, avocado, a few @pepitas{2%tbsp}, and a small amount of cucumber salad. Divide stuffed pitas between plates. Serve with remaining cucumber salad on the side and sprinkle with remaining pepitas.
