Sweet potato salad

Sweet potatoes make a great salad, with plenty of fibre, vitamins and minerals to keep you going. These are roasted with spices and then covered in chilli, lime and coriander for a zesty treatment. Meal prep this one for the week.

Ingredients:

  • 600–650g/1lb 5oz–1lb 7oz sweet potato (approx. 1 large), scrubbed or peeled and cut into large bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
  • 2 limes, juice and zest
  • 2–4 tsp finely chopped green chilli
  • 2 spring onions, washed, trimmed and finely sliced
  • 20g/¾oz fresh coriander, stalks and leaves, washed, dried and finely chopped
  • 30g/1oz rocket
  • 20g/¾oz pumpkin seeds
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and line a small roasting tin with baking paper.
  • Pile the sweet potato into a roasting tin so the pieces are tightly packed together, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cumin, coriander and oil, ensuring the potatoes pieces are well coated.
  • Roast in the oven for 30–40 minutes or until tender, stirring after 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then carefully scrape the sweet potatoes and any oil and spices into a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir in the lime juice and zest, 2 teaspoons of the green chilli, spring onions, coriander, rocket and pumpkin seeds. Check the seasoning, adding more chilli if you like it spicier, then pile onto a platter and serve.
