Baked sweet potatoes with chilli & feta

You don’t need meat to make a dish packed with flavour and texture. The fluffy sweet potatoes contrast well with the crunchy seeds and crumbly feta – and the fresh red chilli adds a burst of heat.

Heat the oil in a pan. Cook the spring onion and chilli for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Mix into the mash, then spoon it back into the skins.

Crumble the feta. Sprinkle on top with the pumpkin seeds, plus ground pepper, to taste. Bake for 8 minutes. Serve with the salad.
