Roasted Sweet Potato Noodles With Feta Food

CRUSTY BAKED POTATOES WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and fleur de sel in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse 10 to 12 times, until finely chopped but not puréed. Spread the mixture in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Scrub the potatoes, dry them well, and pierce them all over with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan and rub them all over with olive oil. Roll each potato in the salt and herb mixture and put them back on the sheet pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until tender. Slit the top of each potato, squeeze the ends together to open the potato, and top with a generous scoop of whipped feta. Sprinkle with chives and serve hot with extra whipped feta on the side.
• Place the feta and cream cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the cheeses are mixed. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, and cumin seeds on a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread cashews onto a baking sheet.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until soft and slightly colored at the edges, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes.
• At the same time, toast cashews in the oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop when cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl.
• Divide feta cheese, spinach, arugula, watercress, and cilantro among 3 plates. Top with warm sweet potatoes and cashews. Pour dressing over top and serve.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND FETA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Toss sweet potatoes with 1 teaspoon oil, salt and pepper; place on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining teaspoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onions.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Mash potatoes in a large bowl, leaving mixture somewhat chunky; fold in onions and cheese until well combined. Set aside.
• Lay 16 wonton skins side by side on a dry work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each of the 16 skins; lightly brush the edges with water.
• Top with remaining 16 skins; push out any air pockets. Press to seal.
• Transfer ravioli to a parchment covered baking pan dusted with flour; place in the freezer until set, about 5 minutes.
• Heat 2 quarts of water to a boil in a stockpot over medium-high heat; add ravioli. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes.
• Drain; divide among four plates. Drizzle with sauce or sage butter.

SWEET POTATO, SPRING ONION & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potato with the oil and some seasoning. Spread on a baking parchment-lined baking tray and roast for 30-35 mins until tender. Cool to room temperature.
• Whisk the dressing ingredients with a little more seasoning. Pile the potato onto a serving platter and drizzle over the dressing. Scatter over the feta and nuts, and very gently toss with your hands so you don't break up the potato.
