Description

Delicious and easy Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Feta combines tender, caramelized sweet potatoes and red onions seasoned with a spicy blend, then topped with salty, crumbly feta cheese for a perfect side dish or vegetarian main.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 small red onions, peeled and cut into pieces just over 1 inch

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or slightly more to coat veggies)
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning for Spicy Sweet Potato Fries (spice blend as per recipe)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes and onions.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes roughly 1 inch square to ensure even roasting and tenderness.
  3. Prepare red onions: Peel the red onions and chop into pieces slightly larger than 1 inch to match the size of the sweet potato cubes.
  4. Toss with olive oil: Place the sweet potatoes and onions in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, adding a little more if necessary to coat all the vegetables evenly.
  5. Add seasoning: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the spicy sweet potato fry seasoning over the veggies and toss thoroughly until everything is coated evenly with the seasoning blend.
  6. Prepare baking sheet: Lightly spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil to prevent sticking during roasting.
  7. Arrange vegetables: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and onions in a single layer on the baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if the pan is crowded to ensure proper roasting.
  8. Start roasting: Roast the vegetables for about 15 minutes, then flip them over using a turner to promote even browning.
  9. Continue roasting: Roast for another 15 minutes, then flip again to ensure all sides are roasted evenly.
  10. Final roasting: Roast an additional 10-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and onions are nicely browned, soft on the inside, and have some caramelized edges.
  11. Finish and serve: Season the roasted veggies with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and serve hot for a flavorful, comforting dish.

Notes

  • Use two baking sheets if the vegetables are crowded to ensure even roasting and prevent steaming.
  • The total roasting time may vary from 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of your sweet potato cubes and oven characteristics.
  • The sweet potatoes won’t be very crispy but should have browned edges for optimal flavor.
  • The seasoning for Spicy Sweet Potato Fries can be substituted with a mix of smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper if the pre-made seasoning is not available.
