STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. Make the wedges first. Mix the smoked paprika, cumin and cinnamon in a bowl and toss in the sweet potatoes. Scatter on a baking tray, spritz with low-calorie cooking spray and roast for 30-35 mins, or until tender. Season to taste and set aside. STEP 2 Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and spritz the caps with low-calorie cooking spray. Season, spread the mushrooms out on the grill pan and grill on a high heat for 3-4 mins on each side, or until cooked. Leave the grill on to lightly toast the rolls if desired. Meanwhile, mix the cottage cheese, garlic, chilli flakes and chives in a bowl and season. Spoon the mixture into the mushrooms and grill for 1 min, or until hot and bubbling. STEP 3 Divide the mushrooms between the rolls and top with the cucumber, tomato, onion and chives. Serve with the wedges.
