Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon the beans over the sweet potato fries. Drizzle over the soured cream and scatter with spring onions and sliced chilli to serve.
