Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Red Onions with Feta

Ingredients

  • 2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes , cut in 1 inch cubes
  • 2 small red onions, cut into pieces just larger than 1 inch
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T seasoning for Spicy Sweet Potato Fries
  • 1/3 cup Feta cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 450F/230C.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into roughly 1 inch cubes.
  3. Remove the skins from the red onions and chop them into pieces a little larger than 1 inch.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes and onions to a bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, using slightly more if needed so every piece gets a light coating.
  5. Scatter 1 tablespoon seasoning for Spicy Sweet Potato Fries over the vegetables, then toss until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  6. Coat a large baking sheet with non-stick spray, or lightly mist it with olive oil.
  7. Arrange the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer, using two baking sheets if the pan looks at all crowded.
  8. Roast for about 15 minutes, turn the vegetables with a spatula, roast another 15 minutes, and turn them once more.
  9. Continue roasting for 10-20 minutes, until the onions and sweet potatoes are well browned and the sweet potatoes are tender. They will not become especially crisp, but the edges should take on some color.
  10. The full roasting time should be 40-50 minutes, depending on the sweet potatoes, the baking sheet, and the oven.
  11. Add salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste, finish with crumbled Feta, and serve hot.
