Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer to 200C
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Pull out a medium frying pan & a peeler
Get the fries on
- Cut the sweet potato into fries (peel optional)
- Place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil, half the paprika and a pinch of salt
- Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden
Start the chilli
- Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely dice the onion
- Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and onion and cook for 3 mins, until softening

Simmer simmer
- Add the chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat), remaining paprika and the passata to the pork pan. Simmer for 5-7 mins, until the sauce thickens
- Roughly chop the coriander
- Stir half the coriander into the chilli, taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick
Last bits & plate up
