Ingredients

500g sweet potato/kumara (peeled and cut into bite size pieces)

1 1/2 tablespoons of oil

1 large red onion peeled and cut into about 10 wedges

2 medium garlic cloves (unpeeled)

80g green beans

1 tablespoon Sweet Balsamic Reduction

handful of slivered almonds/pinenuts

 

Method

Preheat oven to 180c. Place sweet potato/kumara on lightly greased tray and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15 minutes.  

Add onion and garlic to the tray and drizzle with oil and bake for a further 20 - 30 minutes until vegetables are tender and the onion has started to caramalise.  

Cook beans in boiling water for about 3 minutes and then plunge them into cold water for 10 seconds to stop the cooking process.  Drain and cut into pieces.

Squeeze the garlic from the skin and mash in a bowl with a fork and mix in the Sweet Balsamic Reduction.  

Mix sweet potato/kumara and beans in a bowl and pour the garlic and Sweet Balsamic Reduction mixture over the top.

You can sprinkle some toasted pine nuts/slivered almonds over the top for decoration if desired.  

Can be served hot or cold.
