Method:

1. Halve the peppers lengthways and discard the stalks, cores and seeds. Cut each half lengthways into 4 pieces. Peel the sweet potato and slice it into rings about 8mm/1/4in thick. 

2. To make the dressing, in a small frying pan, dry-fly the cumin seeds over a low heat for a few minutes, taking care not to bum them. Place them in a bowl with the honey, vinegar and oils and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat a ridged cast iron griddle pan until very hot. Place the sweet potato slices on the pan and lightly brush each piece with olive oil. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the pieces over once, then remove them from the pan and keep warm.

4. Add half the pepper pieces, brush with olive oil and cook for about 8 minutes, turning them over several times. Remove and add to the sweet potatoes, then repeat with the remaining peppers.

5. To serve, place the vegetables on a large shallow dish and drizzle the dressing over them. Serve warm with rice.
