Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the sweet potato and pepper in a roasting tin, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Roast for 30 mins until the veg is tender and golden around the edges.
After 20 mins, heat the remaining oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the rice and fry for 4-5 mins until steaming and broken up. Flake in the mackerel and fry for 3-4 mins more until piping hot.
Stir through the beans and half the roasted veg; fry for 1-2 mins to warm through, then remove from the heat. Squeeze over the lime juice and top with the remaining roasted veg, the lime zest and coriander, if using.
