Roasted sweet potato salad with feta
A delicious salad made with well seasoned and roasted sweet potatoes along with some crumbly feta and crunchy walnuts!
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1 centimeter cubes
- 3 cups baby spinach or any leafy greens
- ¼ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Mediterranean dried herbs
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, to the sweet potatoes add the salt, chili flakes, dried herbs and half of the olive oil. Give it a good mix so that all of them are well seasoned
- Lay this out on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 40-45 minutes or until cooked through, at 180°C
- In the same mixing bowl, toss the spinach with the remaining olive oil. I have not seasoned these because even the feta is salted and so are the sweet potatoes
- When the sweet potatoes are done, remove them and layer over the spinach. Follow this up with the walnuts and the cheese
- Serve the roasted sweet potatoes salad with feta, warm or at room temperature, as is or as a side along with your roasts. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can replace the baby spinach with lettuce, rocket leaves, arugula. watercress etc
- You can also replace walnuts with pistachios, pine nuts, peanuts etc

- To make the salad vegan, leave the feta cheese out
- 1 cup = 250 millilitres
