Steps

Roast Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into approximately 2 cm cubes. In a large bowl, toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool.

Prepare Salad Components

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the red onion, chop the fresh mint, and crumble the feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper – this will be your dressing.

Assemble and Serve

In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled roasted sweet potatoes, sliced red onion, fresh mint, crumbled feta cheese, and arugula. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad, then gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, or let it rest for a bit to allow the flavors to meld.

Extra Tips

► If you like spicy flavors, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sweet potatoes before roasting.

► The salad tastes even better if you let the flavors meld a bit before serving, for about 15-20 minutes.

► Try it with other fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if you're not a big fan of mint.
