Chef's Notes
The Story Behind Kumara Roast
Sweet potatoes arrived in the Pacific through ancient trans-oceanic contact and became an important food crop across the Solomon Islands.
Roasting in coals produces naturally caramelized, smoky sweet potatoes.
Kumara remains a daily staple, especially in rural areas.
