This effortless Mexican-style dish is perfect for a barbecue. Sweet potatoes are rubbed with oil, wrapped in foil, and cooked directly on the hot coals until they become meltingly tender. They are then finished with a cool spoonful of Greek yogurt and fresh spring onion slices. It's a fantastic veggie option for lunch or dinner, serving eight people with minimal preparation required.

Ingredients

8 medium sweet potatoes
4 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 spring onion sliced

Method

Coat each sweet potato with a small amount of oil and salt, then wrap securely in two layers of foil.
Once the barbecue coals glow red, place the wrapped potatoes directly onto them. Cook for 15 mins, turn them over using tongs, and cook for another 15 mins. Take one potato off, unwrap it, and test that it is fully cooked.
Pull back the foil from the top of each potato. Split them open and add a dollop of yogurt followed by some sliced spring onion.
