    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice your sweet potato into wedge-sized pieces and place in your roasting dish.
  2. Mix together the ingredients for the peri-peri spice mix and rub over the wedges. Drizzle with oil and mix together with your hands (it's easier!)
  3. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.

Notes

  • Aga cooking - All my recipes are tested and made on an Aga but then adapted for a conventional oven. If you're an Aga user like myself then you can follow the recipe as above and use the roasting oven, middle shelf to cook these. 
  • Storing - I wouldn't recommend making these and storing them once cooked. Fresh is best! You can make the peri peri mix and store it in the fridge for quite a few weeks. The reason I say fridge is due to the crushed garlic. You can make without the garlic and store in the cupboard for years, then just add the garlic after!
  • Re-heating - Like I said, I wouldn't recommend making these and re-heating. They taste just as nice cold. 
  • Freezing - You could make some of these and freeze them pre-cook. You would just need to freeze on a tray and then pour into a lockable freezer bag. Defrost thoroughly and cook as normal, or cook from frozen and add an extra 10 minutes on your cooking time.
