Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato
• 2 medium sweet potatoes (around 500g), halved lengthways
• 20g olive oil
• 5g sea salt
• 2g freshly ground black pepper
• 5g honey (optional, for extra caramelisation)
For the Whipped Feta

Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. Place the halved sweet potatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and brush with honey if using.
3. Roast for 30–35 minutes, cut-side up, until golden and tender.
4. Meanwhile, make the whipped feta: place feta, yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. To serve, spread a generous spoon of whipped feta on each plate, top with the roasted sweet potato, and finish with toasted pumpkin seeds, thyme and a drizzle of honey.
Storage.
Store leftover whipped feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Roasted sweet potatoes will keep for 2 days — reheat in the oven before serving.
