ONE POT DINNER 1.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO WITH FETA, SPRING ONIONS + PEANUTS

Roasted sweet potato is one of the easiest and nicest quick dinners I can think of, and this smoky version, jazzed up with sharp feta, spring onions and a good dose of crunch from the peanuts, is certainly among them. Add some freshly chopped red chilli for extra heat, if you like.

Serves 4

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: 35–45 minutes

• 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into 2.5cm / 1" wedges (you can peel them if you like—I leave the skin on)
• 1 red onion, quartered
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt flakes
• 100g / 3.5oz feta cheese, crumbled

For the dressing:

• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil• 1 lime, zest and juice• 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes, or to taste• 3 spring onions, thinly sliced• big handful of unsalted peanuts
