Roast Sweet Potatoes and Easy Peasy Homemade Beans

Starting a blog is like starting a relationship, mistakes made and lessons learned. I should have included accompaniments for the Superfood Burgers. Alas my trusty photographer was not with me when I made these so for today the recipe in 2-d will have to do for now.

Roast sweet potatoes

Ingredients:

Sweet potatoes (depending on size and needs of stomach)

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 200C and pour a small amount of olive oil (about 1-3tbsp depending on amount of sweet potatoes used) onto a roasting tray. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into wedges. As a guide at least the thickness of your ring finger. Carefully remove the tray and place the wedges on top. Using a spatula coat the wedges with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Roast for 25-35 minutes remembering to turn around the wedges every 5 minutes or so. Do not worry if the wedges turn slightly black in places as this merely adds to the caramelised taste.

Remember to serve with tomato ketchup.

A post would not be complete without a photo so here is a non-foodie one for you although in keeping with the very English meal (burger, chips and beans)...
