1. In a pestle and mortar, bash up a few dried chillies, the ground cumin and sea salt.
2. Give your sweet potatoes a scrub under the tap, prick them about 10 times with a knife, then,
while they’re still wet, dust them with the spicy mix. Roll them individually in foil and submerge them under the hot ash of the barbecue. If you want to put them among the coals, double-wrap them in foil so the skin doesn’t burn.
3. Stab with a knife to check if cooked after 20 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lime.
