Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp oil, the fajita seasoning and 1 tbsp cumin on a roasting tray. Roast in a single layer for 30-35 mins, tossing halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, before mixing in the garlic and remaining cumin. Cook for 1 min, then add the pepper, beans and stock. Simmer for 12-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Spoon the beans over the sweet potato fries. Drizzle over the soured cream and scatter with spring onions and sliced chilli to serve.
