- Follow our milk kefir recipe, after removing the grains, seal and store at room temperature for another 12-24 hours to thicken.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the sweet potatoes into wedges. Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season. Cook for 35-40 minutes.
- For the kefir tzatziki, squeeze the liquid from the grated cucumber. Mix the cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt, paprika, chickpeas and most of the parsley into the thickened kefir until well combined.
