- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup feta cheese

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly golden.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and dijon mustard to make the dressing.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
