A delicious accompaniment to your barbecue should the weather hold out this weekend!
By Donna of Eighty 20 Nutrition
The perfect accompaniment to a big piece of steak, burger or even grilled salmon. Sweet potato’s roasted in coconut oil and then doused with cheese, herbs and chilli, just so decadent.
The potatoes can be prepared ahead of time, then heated before serving but make sure that the cheese is soft and gooey whilst the herbs remain fresh and crisp,
I find that roasting the potato’s on a baking tray, without touching each other, allows them to crisp up beautifully, then I transfer them to a serving dish, smother them in grated cheddar cheese, back into the oven for the cheese to melt, then topped with fresh herbs and chilli slices.
So easy and simple, and deliciously perfect!
