  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

  • Put the sweet potato in a bowl with 1tbsp water, cover with clingfilm and microwave on high for 15 mins until very soft. Leave to cool slightly. Mash with the almonds, paprika and oregano until smooth.

  • Top with the Parmesan, watercress and a grind of black pepper to serve.
