Method
0 of 9 done- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) / 400°F / gas mark 6.
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly, then slice it in half lengthwise. Rub the flesh with a little olive oil and place the halves flesh side down on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes until the sweet potato is tender and the edges are caramelised.
- While the sweet potato is roasting, peel and thinly slice the red onion.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the red onion slices for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelised. Set aside.
- Use the same pan to cook the minced beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for around 5 minutes until browned all over.
- Add the chilli powder, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to the beef, and stir well to combine. Crush in the garlic clove, add chopped spinach and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
- Remove the sweet potato from the oven. Carefully scoop out a small portion of the sweet potato flesh to create a cavity for the beef mixture, setting the scooped flesh aside for another use if desired.
- Fill the sweet potato cavities with the seasoned beef mixture, piling it generously. Top with the caramelised red onions, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with any desired fresh herbs or a sprinkle of additional chilli powder for an extra kick.
