• In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast, stirring occasionally and rotating the pan after about 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden around the edges, 45-50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp then drain all but 2 TBS of the fat out of the pan.
• Transfer the bacon to a plate and blot with paper towels.
• In the remaining bacon grease add chestnuts and saute, stirring, until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Divide the potatoes and shallots between two 10-inch cast-iron skillets. Evenly drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• For the chickpeas: Lay the chickpeas out on a flat surface and dry them as much as you can using paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Line a large plate with paper towels. Working in two batches, add the chickpeas to the skillet so they are in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to the prepared plate and add the spice mixture. Toss everything together until combined; this helps to bloom the spices while the chickpeas are still warm.
• Garnish the potatoes in the skillets with the chickpeas and finish with the mint.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HONEY AND CINNAMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a roasting tray. Drizzle the oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper over the potatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes in oven or until tender.
• Take sweet potatoes out of the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil.

OVEN-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Chop the sweet potatoes into 2-3cm cubes.
• Tip into a large, shallow roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. If you're adding additional veg or herbs, such as sliced red onions, garlic cloves and thyme, tip these in as well. Toss everything together to coat in the oil, then roast for 20 mins. Toss again to ensure the potatoes cook evenly, and roast for another 15-20 mins until the potatoes are lightly browned on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork or knife.

CARMELIZED ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl add sweet potatoes, 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, add 3-4 tablespoons olive oil until heated. Add the sliced onions. Saute, stirring every so often for 20 minutes or until they caramelize. (NOTE: it is very important to saute the onions over low heat, to avoid them from burning). Once they are caramelized, add the remaining 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Stir to mix flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue sauteing until onions are dark golden brown and fully caramelized, about 5-10 minutes more. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan becomes dry. (Refer to Tidbit below).
• Arrange sweet potatoes on a sheet tray. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes. Mid-way through cooking, lift and turn-over potatoes to brown evenly. Dot caramelized onions over the roasted sweet potato cubes. With a spatula, lift and turn-over potatoes again to evenly distribute onion mixture. Roast for an additional 5 - 8 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and slightly browned. Taste for seasoning.
• Transfer to serving tray and enjoy!
• Tidbit: Note that onions will cook down alot; decreasing the volume. Depending on the power of your stove top and the amount of onions you have in the pan, it may take a longer time for onions to be fully carmelized. They should be dark (not burned) and cooked way down.
• Another tidbit: If not using freshly ground pepper in this recipe, it makes a big enough difference. The store prepared ground doesn't have as much depth.

SWEET POTATO & CHESTNUT ROAST WITH TANGY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a 1lb (500g) loaf tin with baking parchment. Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan and fry the onions for 10 mins until golden, stirring every now and then. Add the grated potato and garlic and cook for 5 mins more until the potatoes have softened.
• Tip into a bowl, (reserve the pan) and add two-thirds of the chestnuts crushing them up as you go, then stir in the thyme, tamari and egg. Press into the loaf tin, roughly break the remaining nuts and arrange them on top then bake for 45 mins.
• For the sauce mix the flour with a little of the bouillon to make a very wet paste. Return the pan to the heat and add all the ingredients, including the flour mix and stir over a high heat until well mixed and thickened. Keep simmering for a good 10 mins then taste as it should now be tangy rather than vinegary. If it is too sharp return to the heat and boil a little longer.
• Carefully take the loaf from the tin and remove the paper. Scatter with thyme. If you're doing the Healthy Diet Plan, serve half in 2 thick slices with half the tomato sauce and chill the rest for another day, otherwise serve the whole recipe as a meal for four people.
