I adore sweet potatoes and we have them regularly in curries and as fries with a veggie burger. But recently we have started making them the star of the show in this dish of roasted sweet potatoes with feta cheese and spicy chickpeas.
It feels like a real health kick with a good helping of chickpeas, crumbly cheese and soft, sweet and creamy roasted sweet potatoes.
The best thing about this dish is that it is SO simple. It’s such an easy mid-week dinner.
We just leave off the chilli on the kids version and they love it too.
It’s great as a warming dish in winter and as a fresh tasting summer dish when it’s warmer.
What I love about this recipe is that it just allows the main ingredients to stand out. They aren’t all mixed together to create different flavours. They all complement each other perfectly.
