Ingredients

1 sweet potato, roughly chopped into dice with the skin still on
1 red pepper, de-seeded and cut into chunks
1 red onion, peeled and cut into chunks
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
200ml coconut milk
200ml chicken stock

Steps:

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the sweet potato, pepper, onion and garlic on a baking tray. Sprinkle with the paprika and seasoning, then drizzle with the oil. Toss together. Roast for 30 mins or until beginning to brown.
