BARBECUE SESAME SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Light a lidded barbecue. Let the flames die down and the coals turn ashen, then mound the coal up on one side or heat an oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Arrange the sweet potatoes on a large tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil, season and toss. Cook on the barbecue or in the oven for 25 mins until charred and softened.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining oils, ginger, garlic, soy and lime juice. Baste the potatoes with some of the sauce and return to the barbecue for another 30-40 mins, basting as they cook. Once the potatoes are glazed and sticky, remove and sprinkle on the sesame seeds and peanuts, and leave to cool slightly. Remove the wedges from the tray and pop into a salad bowl. Sprinkle over the chilli and spring onions and serve.

BARBECUE BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub each potato with a little oil and salt, then wrap in a double layer of foil.
• As soon as the barbecue coals are glowing red, put the potatoes directly on them. Cook for 15 mins, turn with tongs, then cook for 15 mins more. Remove one, unwrap and check it is cooked through.
• Peel back the top of the foil from each potato, split open and top with a spoonful of yogurt and a few spring onion slices.

BBQ SWEET POTATO & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Simmer the sweet potato slices in salted water for about 5 minutes until only just turning tender (they cook quicker than ordinary potatoes). Drain, cool, then toss with 2 tbs olive oil and season.
• Heat the barbecue and cook the sweet potato slices for a few minutes each side, carefully turning only once, until completely tender and very chargrilled.
• Toss the spinach, pine nuts and red onion together and scatter over a large serving platter. Top with the feta.
• Whisk the balsamic, 1 tbsp olive oil, honey and mustard together and season well.
• Pile the sweet potato on top of the salad and drizzle with the dressing.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, and cumin seeds on a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread cashews onto a baking sheet.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until soft and slightly colored at the edges, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes.
• At the same time, toast cashews in the oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop when cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl.
• Divide feta cheese, spinach, arugula, watercress, and cilantro among 3 plates. Top with warm sweet potatoes and cashews. Pour dressing over top and serve.

SWEET POTATO, SPRING ONION & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potato with the oil and some seasoning. Spread on a baking parchment-lined baking tray and roast for 30-35 mins until tender. Cool to room temperature.
• Whisk the dressing ingredients with a little more seasoning. Pile the potato onto a serving platter and drizzle over the dressing. Scatter over the feta and nuts, and very gently toss with your hands so you don't break up the potato.
