Ingredients

For the baked spiralized sweet potatoes: -

  • 500 g spiralized sweet potato
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 3 spring onions chopped

For the spinach pesto: -

  • 70 g chopped baby spinach
  • 30 g toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 g freshly grated parmesan
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220C fan.
  • Place the spiralized sweet potato in a large bowl, add the olive oil and garlic, mixing everything together ensuring all of the potato is coated.
  • Place onto a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 10 – 15 minutes until crispy, but not burnt!
  • Whilst the potatoes are baking, make the spinach pesto.
  • Place all of the spinach pesto ingredients into a blender (or use a pestle and mortar) and blitz together to a thick pesto consistency. Remove and place in an airtight jar.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, divide between two plates and top with 2 tbsp. Of the spinach pesto for each plate, then garnish with the chopped spring onions.

Notes

The spinach pesto can be kept sealed in the fridge for up to two weeks.
