Loaded sweet potato wedges with feta and green sauce
This sauce came about from staring deeply into my fridge and out to my fledgling herb garden, then hoping for the best. And having a random craving for chimichurri flavours. It makes about 1½ cups and any leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Ingredients
700g sweet potato
½ cup Persian-style feta
handful of coarsely torn coriander leaves (optional)
For the Make-it-work green sauce
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
½ cup olive oil (plus extra ¼ cup to thin sauce, if too thick)
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup mixed herbs (whatever is in the herb garden or lurking in the crisper)
¾ cup green olives (about 110g)
1 green chilli, chopped (or ¾-1 tsp chilli flakes, to taste)
1 tsp ground cumin (or ground coriander)
Method
Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional).
Blitz all the sauce ingredients together in a blender. The sauce should have some body but it shouldn't be thick like a relish – if you achieve a runny pesto-like consistency you are on the right track. If it seems too thick, just add a little more oil to thin it out, about a tablespoon at a time.
Cut the sweet potato lengthways into thick wedges and roast for about 45 minutes or until cooked through and golden.
Scatter over the Persian-style feta chunks, coriander leaves if you have them, and drizzle with Make-it-work green sauce.
Other ideas with the Make-it-work green sauce:
Drizzle over roasted cauliflower or other roasted proteins.
As a stir-through sauce for a beef and vegetable stir-fry.
Add it to scrambled eggs.
Use as a dressing for a grain salad.
As a marinade for chicken or lamb kebabs.
