Smashed sweet potatoes with chard-fennel-veggies

We made this recipe for a GRIM-team-lunch. The combination of the sweet potatoes and the fresh veggies is a great combination. You like it vegan? No problem - just skip the parmesan. 

Ingredients for the potatoes

• 4 sweet potatoes
• Parmesan cheese 
• Fresh thyme and rosemary
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper

Ingredients for the veggie-mix

• 1 fennel
• 1 chard
• 1 onion 
• 1 garlic clove 
• Salt & pepper 
• Olive oil 

How to do it

1. Boil the sweet potatoes for about 30 until they are soft. 
2. In the meantime: Prepare the veggie-mix. Cut the onion and the garlic into small pieces. Cut the chard and fennel into pieces.
3. Mix 4 tbsp of olive oil, the fresh herbs & some salt & pepper. Preheat the oven (grill function). 
4. When the potatoes are done, cut them in half and mash them with a fork. Pour a tablespoon of herb oil over each potato and rub Parmesan cheese over it (depends on how cheesy you want it). 
5. Put the potatoes into the preheated oven for about 5 - 10 minutes.
6. Use the time while the potatoes are in the oven to fry your veggies. Heat some olive oil in a pan. Steam the onion with the garlic. Add the fennel and chard and fry the vegetables for another 3-5 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.
7. Enjoy! :)
