Superseed Roast Sweet Potato

January 19

My go-to healthy eating saviour when there is very little in the house is a roast sweet potato. Although not exactly fast food, it’s worth the wait! You can fill them with whatever you fancy but I find myself making this variation all the time.

  • time 50 mins

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Place the potatoes on a baking tray and drizzle with about a tablespoon of rapeseed oil. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining rapeseed oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the kale and fry for 3 – 4 minutes, until wilted and tender.
  3. 3. Mix the yoghurt and sriracha sauce together and set aside.
  4. 4. Stir through the garlic and chilli flakes, and season. Slice open the baked sweet potatoes. Top with the kale, a dollop of the yoghurt mix, a sprinkle of seeds, chickpeas and some alfalfa sprouts.

Herby Sweet Potato Chips

July 16

These sweet and spicy little wedges knock the socks off greasy fast food chips any day. If you haven’t tried sweet potatoes before, this is a great introduction recipe, where you just can’t go wrong. Serve as a nice side dish or a quick and tasty snack! If I am serving these as a side dish, I generally prepare them first and let them cook away in the oven while I get on with the rest of the dinner.

Chimichurri Surf and Turf with Skinny Sweet Potato Chips

June 24

This is one heck of a meal, packed with flavours which won’t disappoint!  The chimichurri sauce is originally from Argentina and it’s so simple to make yourself with just a couple of simple store-cupboard ingredients. When you’re selecting your steaks try and look out for ones with an even marbling of fat and a rich red colour.  The steaks and prawns are perfect for the BBQ if you want to cook outdoors.

Healthy Jar Salad

June 12

Eating healthily when you’re on the go can be very tricky so this jar salad is a total life saver. The quinoa will keep hunger at bay and the addition of the halloumi adds a savoury bite. You don’t have to roast the chickpeas but I love the extra crunch you get if you do. This salad is quick to prepare, satisfying and keeps really well in the jar.
