INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 small butternut, peeled and sliced, cut into 1⁄2 cm-thick pieces
  • 3–4 sweet potatoes, cut into 1⁄2 cm-thick pieces
  • 2–3 cups sour cream
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Fresh thyme, a few springs
  • 200 g streaky bacon, grilled until crispy, finely choped
  • 40 g Woolworths crispy onion sprinkle
  • 50 g breadcrumbs

METHOD:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and slice the butternut and sweet potatoes into 1⁄2 cm-thick pieces.
  • Arrange snugly in an ovenproof dish, pour over the sour cream, season to taste and sprinkle over garlic and a few sprigs fresh thyme. Bake for 25 minutes.
  • At the same time, grill the streaky bacon until crispy. Finely chop the bacon, mix with Woolworths crispy onion sprinkle and breadcrumbs, then sprinkle over the vegetables and bake for a further 10–15 minutes until golden and tender.
Cook's note: Serve with chicken schnitzel and asparagus tips glazed in melted butter with a squeeze of lemon juice. You can also swap the butternut and sweet potato for baby marrow and brinjal if you prefer.
