SWEET POTATO AND HALLOUMI BRIOCHE

A toasted brioche bun filled with crispy sweet potatoes, grilled halloumi, and sweet chilli sauce
​
Sweet potatoes are high in fibre and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote a healthy gut and brain. They are also incredibly rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A to support good vision and your immune system.
​
Originally from Cyprus, halloumi cheese is a popular dairy product. Its firm texture and unique savoury taste are enjoyed worldwide. Given that it provides a good amount of protein and calcium in each serving, adding it to your diet may enhance your bone health and protect against type 2 diabetes.
​
So what a perfect combination, all filled into a sweet brioche bun!
