The topping opportunities are endless too with both sweet and savoury options pairing nicely. Lee Holmes shares three of her favourites. Golden, guilt free and gluten-less slices of goodness are the go!
Method:
- Slice sweet potato length ways into slices about 0.5-1cm thick (this will depend on how much knife control you have as well as the quality of your knifes!).
