Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
½ cup hummus
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese or feta-style white cheese
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium bowl, toss the diced sweet potato cubes with olive oil, sea salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are golden and caramelized and a piece is tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes roast, divide the fresh chopped spinach between two serving plates. Place a generous spoonful (about ¼ cup) of hummus on each plate, positioning it near the spinach.
Once the roasted sweet potatoes are golden and tender, remove them from the oven. Divide the hot potatoes evenly between the two plates, arranging them over or alongside the spinach and hummus.
Top each portion with the crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately while the potatoes are still warm.
Comments
This hits Charlotte's sweet spot: sweet potatoes are a regional staple and all ingredients are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart without a second trip. The stated 45 minutes is honest—roasting takes about 30 to 35 minutes plus five minutes prep and five for assembly. Cost per serving runs under five dollars if you use store-brand hummus and feta, and it reheats well for lunch the next day. The only mild drawback is that it's a vegetarian bowl without protein beyond feta, so a hungry household might need bread or a side to feel full.
