Crispy Baked Sweet Potatoes with Herbed Feta Crumble
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, thyme, minced garlic, paprika, chili flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
3. Layout on Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
4. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25 minutes.
5. Breadcrumb Parmesan Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Add Crunch to Sweet Potatoes:
After 25 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle the breadcrumb Parmesan mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes.
7. Final Bake:
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sweet potatoes are tender.
8. Herbed Feta Crumble:
While sweet potatoes finish baking, mix crumbled feta with honey and fresh herbs in a small bowl.
9. Serve:
Once the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Top with herbed feta crumble before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for extra flair.
