👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Prick the cauliflower with a fork in several places.
  3. 3
    Rub the cauliflower with the olive oil on all sides.
  4. 4
    Arrange the cauliflower in a baking dish.
    Baking pan
  5. 5
    Roast the cauliflower in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 45–55 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender.

  2. 7
    Mash the avocado with a fork to a coarse texture.
    Fork
  3. 8
    Add the lemon juice and mix.
  4. 9
    Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt and black pepper and stir gently.
  5. 10
    Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise and gently open them.
    Knife
    💡Test with a knife: the sweet potato is ready when the blade slides to the center without resistance; a firm sweet potato won't open into a boat.
  6. 11
    Fill the sweet potatoes generously with the avocado spread and serve immediately.
