Spiced Sweet Potato Sandwich With Feta Recipes

SPICED SWEET POTATO SANDWICH WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine sweet potato, ancho chile powder, cumin, and 3 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season generously with salt and pepper and toss until sweet potato is evenly coated. Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Arrange sweet potato in a single layer without overlapping (you will most likely be able to fit them all at once, but work in 2 batches if needed). Cook, undisturbed, until blackened in spots, about 4 minutes. Turn slices over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until tender, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Meanwhile, combine beet, onion, and vinegar in a medium bowl; season generously with salt and pepper and toss well. Let sit to allow beet to soften. Mix mayonnaise, garlic, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat broiler. Toast rolls, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, 30-60 seconds. Remove rolls from oven.
• Toss herbs with remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to coat. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss again to combine.
• To build sandwiches, pour off any accumulated liquid from beet mixture. Spread seasoned mayonnaise over cut sides of reserved rolls, dividing evenly (yes, it's a lot, but you don't want to skimp here). Arrange feta slices over bottom halves of rolls. Top with sweet potato slices and pile some beet mixture on top. Mound herbs over beets; close up sandwiches with top halves of rolls and cut in half.
• Sweet potato, beet mixture, and seasoned mayonnaise can all be made 2 hours ahead. Store sweet potato and beet mixture separately, tightly covered, at room temperature. Cover and chill mayonnaise.

SPICY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, chipotle powder and garlic until the potatoes are evenly coated. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a 9 1/2-inch round glass baking dish, arranging in overlapping, concentric circles, until the dish is filled. Cover with foil and bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and add the cream. Return the casserole to the oven and continue baking, uncovered, until golden with crisp edges another 20 minutes. Serve warm.

SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Toss 2 pounds sweet potatoes (cut into wedges) with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons each brown sugar and salt, 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne. Roast cut-side down on a baking sheet in a 425 oven until crisp, 30 minutes, turning once.

HOT DRESSED SWEET POTATO, FENNEL & FETA PARCELS

Steps:

• Make a rough 30cm square double layer of foil. Tip the potato wedges and fennel into the middle and toss to mix together with 1 tsp orange juice and 1 tsp oil.
• Bring the foil up around the veg to make a bowl shape, then scrunch the top to seal. Put the foil parcels on the rack over the hottest part of the barbecue and cook for 35-45 mins until the potatoes are soft. (Unwrap and test with the point of a knife to check if they're ready.)
• Meanwhile, whisk together the last 2 tsp orange juice and oil with the vinegar, honey, parsley, walnuts and zest. Season. When the potato is cooked, carefully open the top of the parcel and pour in the dressing with most of the feta - the heat of the barbecue will bring out the flavours of the dressing and warm the feta. Gently mix in the parcel, then scatter with the remaining feta.
