INGREDIENTS

  • 1kg packet sweet potato, unpeeled
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • lime wedges, to serve, optional

MEXICAN SLAW

  • ¾ cup whole egg mayonnaise
  • 2 tbs fajita spice mix
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 tbs warm water, optional
  • ¼ red cabbage, finely shredded
  • ¼ green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup continental parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled, grated
  • 4 radish, trimmed, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 3 green shallots/onions, thinly sliced

METHOD

1. Preheat oven 200°C fan forced. Scrub the sweet potatoes under water with a clean brush. Pat dry. Pierce them all over, at least 8 times with a fork. Rub the skins all over with oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Put onto an oven tray and roast 40-55 minutes or until they are tender all the way through to the centre.

3. Meanwhile, for the slaw, combine the mayonnaise, spice mix and lime juice in a large bowl, whisk to combine adding water if needed. Remove ¼ cup of dressing to a small bowl. Add cabbage, parsley, carrot, radish and green shallots to the large bowl, toss well to coat.

4. Split the sweet potatoes down the centre with a sharp knife and ease open. Pile in the mexican slaw. Drizzle with reserved dressing. Sprinkle with a little fajita seasoning and serve with lime wedges.

Tips

Store any un-used slaw in an airtight container, preferably glass (as it keeps fresher) in the fridge for up to 5 days.

The fajita spice mix comes in 40g sachets, you will find it where all the mexican ingredients are in the supermarket.
