  • 700 g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin chips

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the sweet potato, fennel and garlic out on a large baking sheet and coat evenly with 4 tbsp of the oil. Roast for 20 mins. Add the thyme and the tomato halves and season to taste. Roast for another 5-10 mins.
  • Mash the cheese with a fork and enough milk to make a sauce. Season and add a little lemon juice to taste, then stir in the cracker crumbs.
