Roasted Sweet Potato Nourish Bowl recipe

How to Make It:

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes:
    Toss the wedges in a little olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast at 200°C / 400°F for 30–35 mins, until golden and soft inside.
  2. Make the veggie salsa:
    Heat a pan with a little olive oil. Sauté the onions, peppers, and courgette for 5–7 minutes, until tender. Stir in the beans and a sprinkle of spices to warm through.
  3. Mash the guacamole:
    Mash the avocado with lemon or lime juice and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  4. Prepare the yogurt drizzle:
    Stir your yogurt with chopped fresh herbs. Add a splash of lemon juice or water if you want it thinner.
  5. Assemble your bowl:
    Start with sweet potato wedges, then pile on the veggie salsa, a big spoonful of guacamole, and a drizzle of herby yogurt. Top with seeds, spring onions, and chilli flakes if using.
