Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato (roughly 500g / 1lb) chopped into 1cm/½inch cubes (ish!) No need to peel - you can leave the skins on.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons baharat spice mix (I used Tesco Baharat Seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
  2. Place the sweet potato cubes on a large non-stick baking tray. Drizzle over the olive oil, then sprinkle over the baharat spice mix and salt.
  3. Use your hands to turn the sweet potato cubes so they are all evenly coated in oil, spices and salt.
  4. Rearrange the sweet potato, ensuring the cubes are well spread out (use 2 baking sheets if necessary) and in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until crisp and just starting to darken on the outside and completely soft in the middle.

Notes

  • It’s really important you ensure the sweet potato cubes are spread out well over the baking sheet - if they are touching each other too much or piled on top of each other they will steam rather than roast…which won’t be half so nice!
  • I have found that if you use a good non-stick  baking sheet, the cubes don’t need turning throughout their cooking time, but if you are at all worried do give them a check after 10 minutes and turn them if you think necessary.
  • Suitable for freezing.
