Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized kumara (sweet potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
- 0.25 cup (toasted) pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel and chop the kumara into 1-inch cubes. Place them on the baking tray.
Drizzle the kumara with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the kumara in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the kumara is roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and minced garlic until emulsified. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach leaves, sliced red onion, roasted kumara, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious roasted kumara sweet potato salad!
