4 sweet potatoes
4 fresh naan bread

225g feta cheese
½ bunch fresh mint

Soak your wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes
Preheat oven to 220°C
Step Two
Cut the sweet potatoes into matchsticks
Place them on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Gently toss with your hands to evenly coat
Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip and bake for 15-20 minutes more. You want the sweet potato fries to be tender, but crisp
Step Three

Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally throughout cooking, about 10-12 minutes in total
Transfer skewers onto a plate

To assemble the chicken shawarma, spread each piece of naan with hummus. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese and the chicken skewers
Garnish with mint and a drizzle of the smoky chipotle mayo
