Baked sweet potato salad
This warm roast sweet potato salad is a great alternative to traditional side dishes and is also a healthier option than roast potatoes.
Cook's note: tamari is a type of soy sauce that contains little or no wheat. It usually looks darker and has a richer, less salty taste than soy sauce, making it more suitable for drizzling.
Ingredients
- 10 small sweet potatoes, about 200g (7oz) each
- 100 g unsalted peanuts
- 4 limes
- 4 tbsp tamari
- 4 red chillies, finely chopped
- 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
- 1 bunch mint, leaves picked

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
- Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick them with a fork, rub them with a little salt and place on a tray. Roast for 30–40 minutes, until soft throughout.
- Meanwhile, tip the peanuts onto a baking tray, roast for 5–7 minutes, until golden. Set aside to cool, then smash up a little in a pestle and mortar.
- Grate the zest of 2 limes into a bowl and squeeze in the juice of all 4 limes. Add the tamari and half the chilli and mix well.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through (you can keep them warm in a low oven until you are ready to eat), chop them into pieces and put on a platter. Pour over the lime and tamari dressing, turning the pieces in the dressing, then top with the herbs, peanuts and the remaining chilli.
