ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HONEY & CINNAMON

Sweet potatoes have a really creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavour that makes them ideal as a base for savoury dishes. They don't have to take a long time to prepare either.

Try this dish as a side dish for a main course or heap a large tablespoon of Greek yoghurt on top and have it for lunch. If you want to give the dish a bit of a kick then add half a teaspoon of red chilli flakes before cooking.
