Why this works
A rich, energy-dense dish with useful fibre from sweet potato, but high in saturated fat and sodium due to chorizo, cheese and mayonnaise.
Vitamin A. Sweet potatoes are a strong source of beta-carotene, supporting normal vision, skin health and immune function.
Calcium and protein. Cheese contributes calcium and additional protein, supporting bone health and satiety.
High salt content. Chorizo and cheese can make this dish quite high in sodium, which is worth noting for blood pressure support.
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
- Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, place on a baking tray and bake for 35–40 minutes until completely tender.
- Meanwhile, remove the skin from the chorizo if needed and cook in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the fat renders and the chorizo is crisp at the edges.
- Carefully split each sweet potato lengthways and gently fluff the flesh with a fork.
- Spoon the chorizo over the potatoes, top with the cheese, then return to the oven for 3–5 minutes until melted.
- Stir the mayonnaise with a splash of water if you want a looser drizzle, then spoon or zig-zag over the top to serve.
