EXTRA TIME
The sweet-potato mix freezes well. Thaw, roll into balls and fry for a quick snack.
I never intended my diet to be so plant-forward; it just sort of happened. Veggies excite me – there's so much that can be done with fresh produce. The braai can often be a meat-driven affair, so this one is for all you plant-based peeps who might be overlooked at a cookout.
