  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Spring Onion: 4 spring onions, finely sliced
  • Chive: small bunch chives, snipped into quarters or use mini ones
  • Sweet Potato: 1.2kg sweet potato, peeled and cut into biggish chunks
  • Shallot: 2 shallots (or half a small red onion), finely chopped
  • Sherry Vinegar: 5 tbsp sherry vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potato chunks with the olive oil and some seasoning, and spread on a baking parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30 - 35 mins until tender and golden. Cool at room temperature.
