Loaded sweet-potato wedges with quick bean salsa

Sweet-potato wedges become a full plate with beans, tomatoes and a spoonful of yogurt. Give the wedges enough space on the tray; crowding traps steam and produces a softer result. Add the fresh toppings after roasting.

Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Heat oven to 220°C / 425°F. Cut sweet potatoes into even wedges about 2 cm thick.
  2. Toss with oil, paprika and salt. Spread on a lined tray and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and browned at the edges.
  3. Combine beans, tomatoes, lime juice and coriander in a bowl.
  4. Divide hot wedges between plates, spoon over salsa and finish with yogurt. Serve immediately.

Make it work in your kitchen

For a warmer topping, heat the drained beans separately and add the tomato mixture at the table. Use a dairy-free yogurt if appropriate. Wedge size affects cooking time, so pierce a thick piece to check tenderness before serving.
