Description

Have you ever tried mini cube-cut Sweet Potato Roasties cooked in a little oil, Rosemary and Thyme? If not, you MUST! Crispy yet fluffy, amazing tones from the herbs and the slight sweetness. This meal is a very similar experience to that well-known and loved family roast dinner meal, but with a strong bias to maximising the gut boosting benefits with incredibly tasty veg. Crispy and succulent Chicken Thighs work perfectly with mini SP roasties. Load in a big portion of Leeks, Carrots and French String Beans, with a drizzle of gravy and this meal will just make you happy and content. If you take the Sweet Potato down to 250g, drop to two Chicken Thighs and naturally use less Rice Bran Oil, you will save 277 calories.
