Braaied sweet potato

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes
200 g almond flakes, toasted, for serving

For the dip, mix:

5 cups thick plain yoghurt
4 T raw organic honey
4 limes, zested and juiced

Method

1. You will need a bed of hot ashes. After you have braaied, bury the sweet potatoes in the ashes ensuring they’re well covered. If you want to, you can wrap them in foil.

2. Meanwhile, make the dip. Mix the yoghurt, honey and lime zest. Add the lime juice until you achieve a good balance of sweetness and acidity.

3. Check the sweet potatoes with a cake tester. Once soft, remove from the ashes and dust off. Allow to cool, then break open as you would an ordinary baked potato.

4. Arrange the sweet potatoes on a plate and dollop the yoghurt on the side. Top with the toasted almonds.
