    1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Cut each sweet potato into 3 chunky pieces. Brush lightly on both sides with half the olive oil and place, cut-side up in a roasting tin. Sprinkle with the cumin and a little black pepper. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until tender.

    Cook’s tip Reduce waste and use the coriander stalks as well as the leaves in this recipe. The stalks also work well added to soups, stews and curries.
