Ingredients

7 total
  • 1 tsp of tahini
  • 1 squeeze of lemon, (optional)
  • 1 handful of rocket
  • 1 sweet potato, medium
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil, to rub (optional)
  • 1 tbsp of pesto
  • 1 small handful of walnuts, broken up

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Take your sweet potato, wash it, then prick the skin all over with a fork.

  2. Step 2

    If you have some, rub a little olive oil over each potato, but it’s not essential. Place on a plate and microwave (800W) for 6-10 mins, or until the flesh is soft and cooked through. Meanwhile, in a cup or small bowl, loosen your tahini by stirring in a little water and a good squeeze of lemon (optional) until it’s a saucy consistency.

  3. Step 3

    When the sweet potato is cooked, cut down the middle and fluff the flesh with a fork a little. Then drizzle over the tahini, top with the pesto, sprinkle with a few walnuts and serve with rocket leaves.
