BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH EASY CHILLI & SOURED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick the potatoes in several places and bake for 45 mins until soft.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, then cook the onion and chillies for 3-4 mins until softened. Add the beef and seasoning and cook for 5 mins, stirring often. Add the tomatoes and kidney beans, bring to the boil, partially cover and gently simmer for 30 mins.
• Season the chilli. Cut the sweet potatoes open, spoon in some chilli and top with soured cream. Pass around the sweet chilli sauce.

CHILE-SPICED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Cut 4 sweet potatoes into wedges; toss with olive oil, salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F, flipping once, until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoons softened butter with 1 tablespoon harissa (or other chile paste), 1 grated garlic clove, the zest of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Toss with the potatoes and some chopped chives. Season with salt. Serve with lime wedges.

SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut off and discard the ends of the potatoes, halve, then cut each half into long wedges.
• Tip the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle over the oil, sprinkle over the thyme or rosemary and plenty of seasoning, then toss to coat.
• Cook in the oven for 15 mins, then turn the wedges over and cook for 15 mins more until golden and tender. Serve.

CHILI-ROASTED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges; halve long wedges crosswise.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss potatoes with oil, sugar, chili powder, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, until coated. Arrange wedges, cut sides down.
• Roast potatoes until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with additional salt, if desired, before serving.

MIXED-BEAN CHILLI WITH WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the potato wedges in 2 tsp oil and spread out in a single layer on a large baking tray. Cook for 30-35 mins, turning halfway, until tender and golden brown.
• Meanwhile, for the chilli, put the remaining oil into a casserole dish and fry the onion and pepper for 5 mins. Add Cajun spice, pulses, tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins. Remove casserole from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Ladle the chilli into bowls, top each with 1 tbsp soured cream and serve with the wedges.
