• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into biggish chunks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• FOR THE DRESSING

• 2 shallots, finely chopped (or half a small red onion)
• 4 scallions, finely sliced
• chives, snipped into quarters
• 5 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey

directions

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/400°F
2. Toss the sweet potato chunks with the olive oil and some seasoning, and spread on a baking parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30 - 35 mins until tender and golden. Cool at room temperature.
3. When just about cool whisk together all the dressing ingredients with a little more seasoning and gently toss through the potato chunks - use your hands to avoid breaking them up.
4. Scatter with crumbled feta or toasted pine nuts for an extra flash of flavour if you like.
