Before you start

Preheat the oven to 200℃ | 2 wooden spoons | Mixing bowl | Small mixing bowl | Tin foil | Baking tray | Powerful blender

Step 1

Prepare the potatoes

  • Take 2 wooden spoons and lay them next to each to each other to form rails
  • Put a sweet potato on top of the rails and use a sharp knife to slice it, very thinly (almost as thin as thick potato chips - be careful not to cut all the way through the sweet potatoes - they need to remain whole)
  • Put the potatoes in a bowl of water and soak them for 10 minutes (this will help the cooking process)

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes

  • ½ tbsp lemon juice

Step 2

Coat and bake the potatoes

  • Put all the peri peri ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix them together
  • Place the potatoes on single squares of tin foil, drizzle them with a little bit of olive oil, cover them with the peri peri spice mix (making sure the mix gets in between the slices of potato)
  • Put the potato parcels on a baking tray and bake them for 45-50 minutes (take them out of the oven and open the parcels for the final 10 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 3 tsp paprika
