• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 7

After 25 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes and red onion slices to the baking sheet, gently mixing them with the sweet potatoes. Continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 8

Once the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted sweet potato mixture to a serving platter or bowl. Toss them with the sliced kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this dish warm or at room temperature as a delightful side or vegetarian main course.
