(Serves 4 - £2.42 per portion)
1. Bake four sweet potatoes at 180C fan/200C for 35-40 minutes until completely cooked through (this will depend on the size of the potatoes).
2. Fry a chopped red onion over a medium heat with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins.
Add 3 crushed garlic cloves and stir for a couple minutes. Next add a couple of chopped peppers and 2 cans of drained chickpeas. Stir well before adding 2 heaped tbsps of harissa paste.
3. Turn the heat down and make the tahini dressing. Add 3 tbsps tahini to a bowl, the juice of a lemon and enough water to make a dressing of a drizzling consistency. Add a handful of finely chopped mint and some seasoning to taste.
4. Add 180g spinach to the veggies and stir until wilted. Taste and season.
5. Serve the sweet potatoes with a spoonful of the harissa veggies and a drizzle of the dressing. Top with some toasted pine nuts and mint or coriander leaves.
