Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Pop in a large, heavy baking tray to heat up.
Toss the sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp oil on the preheated tray and roast in the oven for 25 mins, tossing occasionally, until cooked.
Meanwhile, toss the red onion in the lemon juice in a bowl and set aside to pickle for 20 mins then drain.
To make the tzatziki, place the grated cucumber in a sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add to a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
About 5 mins before the sweet potatoes are ready, heat the remaining oil in a large, nonstick frying pan and cook the fillet pieces to pack instructions until piping hot and crisping.
Toast the pittas, then cut a pocket down one of the long sides. Open up and spread over the tzatziki. Fill with the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onion, fillet pieces and some sweet potato chips. Serve any extra tzatziki in a bowl on the side for dipping your fries into.
