Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooktime: 60 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 x 400g tin diced tomato
  • 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, drained
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, optional
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Place sweet potatoes on prepared tray and prick all over with a fork. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and use your hands to evenly coat the potatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  3. Bake sweet potatoes approximately 1 hour, or until golden on the outside and very soft on the inside. Prepare tomato topping while potatoes roast.
  4. Place a large saucepan over medium heat, add onion and remaining olive oil. Cook onions 3 – 4 minutes until starting to soften. Add tomatoes, beans and broccoli to pan. Reduce heat and gently simmer 10-15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. To serve, place sweet potatoes onto plates and split lengthwise. Spoon over tomato stew, and sprinkle with Parmesan if using.
