Cooking tips  

• Kumara is delicious roasted in the oven with olive oil or butter until golden and crisp. You can eat this on its own or add to a salad or risotto for more flavour. 
• An ideal potato substitute, cut kumara into wedges and bake in the oven until golden. You can even add a spice mix for extra flavour, such as cumin and chilli. 
• Kumara soup is a great winter warmer. Pan-fry onions, garlic and curry powder, then add diced kumara and vegetable stock. Allow to boil until the kumara is soft, then blend into a soup. Add coconut cream before serving and top with fresh coriander as a garnish.  
• To make ‘jacket kumara’, bake the kumara in the oven until tender – about 40 minutes, depending on size. Serve with guacamole and Mexican beans, or sour cream and sweet chilli sauce.
