The sweet potato bake can be made with pumpkin if you prefer. I roast the sweet potatoes whole in the oven for about 35 minutes, skin on. You can also utilise leftover ones from dinner the night before. Once they are soft, remove the skin and mash the orange flesh with a little salt, and they are ready to add to your mixture.
