A perfect side dish, roasting the sweet potatoes with paprika gives them a kick, matched with a creamy and cooling tahini and lemon yogurt dressing and as many fresh herbs as you can get your hands on! Light, packed full of flavour and fresh, a great accompaniment to grilled salmon, chicken or use it to mix through salad leaves and lentils for a fresh but filling main dish. Can be enjoyed warm or cold and is great to make a larger portion of so you can save some for lunch tomorrow.
