Roast Purple Sweet Potato & Feta Salad
Purple sweet potatoes are avaialble for a few months every year. They get their rich colour from a high concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants. With a nutty flavour and a creamy texture, they're a seasonal treat that's perfect roasted and turned into a chunky warm salad. This salad tops roasted sweet potato wedges with a sweet cherry vine tomato and lime salsa and creamy feta. A cosy autumnal salad.
Ingredients
- 500g purple sweet potatoes
- 1 red onion
- 2 limes
- 1 chilli
- 250g cherry vine tomatoes
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 120g feta
- A handful of coriander
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 40 mins
Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub 500g of the sweet potatoes and chop them into 2cm-thick wedges. Tumble them onto a baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and some salt and pepper. Slide into the oven and roast for 20 mins.
2. Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the red onion and pop it into a large mixing bowl. Finely grate in the zest from both limes, and squeeze the juice from 1 lime. Halve the chilli and flick out the seeds and white pith. Finely chop the chilli. Add to the bowl with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to mix.
3. Carefully slice away the white pith from the remaining zested lime. Using a small, sharp knife, slice the lime segments out of their papery membranes, as you would with an orange or grapefruit. Add to the bowl. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl.
4. Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and dust over 1 tsp ground coriander. Toss the potatoes to coat them. Slide back into the oven for another 20 mins.
5. Finely chop the coriander stalks and roughly chop the leaves. Place on top of the cherry tomatoes, not mixing them together just yet.
6. After 40 mins the sweet potatoes should be soft and coloured at the edges. Remove from the oven and divide them between a couple of plates. Stir the lime and cherry tomato salad together then spoon it over the top of the sweet potato wedges. Crumble over the feta and serve.
