Baked sweet potato with salad

Indians bake. But mostly Cakes and breads. And I had not baked in days. Navrathri just got over and Diwali is in the offing. So, today I baked sweet potato and served with a simple salad and Mushrooms.

So easy to make. Just pop everything into the oven; mix your salad and serve!

Oven Temperature : 200C

Ingredients:
Sweet potato - 3 (250 gm each)
Mushroom - 200 gm (optional)
Garlic - 10 pods (optional)
Onion - 1 medium
Tomato - 3 medium
Green chilly - 2
Coriander leaf - 3 tbsp (garnish)
Spring onion - 1 tbsp (garnish)
Lemon - 1
Olive oil - 4 tbsp
Salt
Pepper

Method:
Preheat oven for 10 minutes.
Wash and scrub the sweet potato to remove all grime and dirt.
Pat dry.
Brush olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle salt.

Lay on a tray covered with aluminium foil (shiny side up) and bake for 45 minutes. Turn each potato after 20 minutes.
If you want to add mushrooms and garlic do the same as you did for sweet potatoes and put them into the oven when there is still 20 minutes baking time left. (I have added 1 quartered onion too.)

Salad:
Cut the onion and tomato into strips. Add sliced green chilly.
Just before serving, add salt and lime juice. Mix well.

Serving:
Slit the sweet potato down the middle and top with the salad.
Serve with baked Mushroom (garnished with pepper), baked garlic, onion and a slice of lemon.
Garnish with Coriander leaf and spring onion.
