Thinly slice the carrots, parsnip and radish on a mandolin and place in a bowl with the sliced herbs and chilli.

Place all vinaigrette ingredients in a jam jar and shake until emulsified.

Assemble the Dish

Spoon the sweet potato puree on the side of a bowl.

Shake the vinaigrette very well and drizzle the vinaigrette onto the vegetables.
