Baked Sweet Potatoes with a Five Star Feta Salad
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 3-58 ounces, weight Feta Or Similar Cheese
- 1 Handful Olives
- 10 Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 Handful Fresh (chopped) Or 1 Tbsp Dried Basil
- 1 Small Red Onion/ 3 Spring Onions
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons Fresh Ground Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 Lemon - Juice Of 1/2 Lemon
- Wash the potatoes and rub olive oil and salt on the skin.
- Next, put them on a baking tray and layer of foil.
- Off they go in the oven.
- Depending on the size of the potato, theyll be ready somewhere between 45 and 60 mins.
- You can tell when the skin becomes loose (just prod them).
- If the potatoes are massive then slice them lengthwise before cooking to save time.
- This way of cooking the potatoes is our favourite overall, but if time is of the essence then weve listed a couple of alternatives in the blog post link above.
- While theyre cooking, cut or crumble the feta/cheese, cut olives, cherry tomatoes, half the basil, peel and dice the onion and the garlic and mix it all up in a salad bowl.
- Put other half chopped basil, cumin, cayenne pepper, fresh ground pepper, olive oil and lemon in a cup and stir well.
- Add the contents of the cup to the salad bowl and stir well.
- When the potatoes are ready (cut them open if theyre not already) pop them on a plate and layer the salad mix on top.
- Finally, add an optional dollop of creme fraiche or Greek yogurt.
- Enjoy!
