Sweet potatoes are traditionally an unloved vegetable, so we say show them some love this weekend. Packed full of all things good for you, they’re too tasty to miss out on.

This recipe is so simple and easy you could do it with you eyes closed (but please don’t try!).

Sweet potatoes (one per person)

What you need to do:
