Submitted by gailanng

"The coriander and fennel is just a wonderful. This type recipe never really crisps, but still very good. Good with sauce recipes: recipe #431929, recipe #391028 or recipe #434654"

Enjoyed these with a burger for lunch.. I did knock this to 2 servings, and added a dash of chili powder to these. Otherwise made as written and enjoyed a great lunch.. Made for Almost 5..

WOW flavour explosion in the mouth, though I did use fresh oregano and only 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar for a scaled back recipe of half which well and truly fed the DM and myself as a side. I baked at 250Cc non forced fan and the DM and I thoroughly enjoyed this side of sweet potatoes, her with her chicken and me with my fish. Thank you gailanng. made for Everyday A Holiday.
