Crispy baked sweet potatoes with Asian-style topping is a tasty lunch idea.

4 small sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
125g unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
3 tablespoons fried Asian shallots
3 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C.
2.

Wash the sweet potatoes and pat dry. Rub the skin with the oil, place on a baking tray and roast for 45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes give a little when lightly pressed.
3.

Meanwhile, combine the butter, chilli sauce and 2 tablespoons of the coriander (this can be done in a food processor). Form into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
4.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining coriander leaves, fried shallots and peanuts. Set aside.
5.

Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then cut a cross in the top and press slightly to open. Serve with a slice of chilli butter and a little of the fried shallot mixture.
