Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika, making sure each piece is evenly coated with seasoning.
- Spread seasoned sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer without overcrowding to promote crispy edges.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning and caramelization.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, wash spinach leaves and set aside.
- When sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender, remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Arrange roasted sweet potatoes in serving bowls, then layer fresh spinach leaves on top.
- Slice avocado and arrange over the spinach and sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the bowl for added flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately while sweet potatoes are still warm, optionally drizzling with extra olive oil or adding additional seasoning to taste.
Tips
- Choose firm, fresh sweet potatoes with smooth skin for the best roasting results.
- Cut potato cubes uniformly to ensure even cooking and perfect caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each potato cube space to crisp up beautifully.
- Use high-quality olive oil and fresh spices to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- For extra crispiness, pat sweet potato cubes dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder, cumin, or dried herbs for variety.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sweet potatoes at their crispiest and most flavorful state.
- For a protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas to the bowl.
