Method

Heat the barbecue. Brush each potato with a little olive oil, then wrap in foil and cook on the barbecue for 30-40 mins or until the flesh is tender. Alternatively, preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and bake the potatoes for 45-50 mins.
Meanwhile, mix the tahini, yogurt, garlic and most of the herbs in a bowl. Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 mins until golden, shaking the pan regularly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cut a slit lengthways into the sweet potatoes and pinch each end to create a cavity. Add a dollop of tahini yogurt. Sprinkle over the pine nuts, crushed chillies, remaining herbs, some seasoning and a drizzle of oil to serve.

Tip: Short on time? Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 8 mins until just tender. Cover with foil and barbecue for 15 mins, turning once.
