Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chilli flakes (or to taste – See Note 1)
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- black pepper to taste
- 500 g sweet potato skins left on (See Note 2), chopped into 1cm/½inch cubes (ish!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Mix together all the ingredients – except the sweet potato cubes – in a large bowl.
- Add the cubes of sweet potato and stir to coat thoroughly. (Or use your hands!)
- Place the sweet potato cubes on a large non-stick baking tray, ensuring the cubes are well spread out (use 2 baking sheets if necessary) and in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, turning once. (Test one to ensure it’s cooked all the way through before removing the cubes from the oven.)
- Serve with all your Nando’s favourites!

Notes
- Adjust the heat by using more or less chilli flakes. Exact ‘hotness’ will depend on the brand of chilli flakes, but as a rough guide go for 1 teaspoon = mild, 2 teaspoons = medium, 3 teaspoons = hot, 4 teaspoons = extra hot.
- I prefer these sweet potato cubes with the skins left on, but you can peel the sweet potatoes if you are not a fan of the skins.
- Suitable for freezing.
