BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH FETA, PESTO AND POMEGRANATE: Ingredients
• 1.7 lbs. (800g) sweet potato
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2.8 oz. (80g) feta cheese
• seeds of ½ pomegranate
(50g)
• 1.7 oz. (50g) pesto
(homemade or store bought)
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Heat the oven to 390F (200C). Wash the potatoes and cut them into 4 slices. Season with salt, pepper, and rub with olive oil.
Arrange on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 30-45 minutes, until soft (the fork should smoothly enter the flesh). Thinner slices will be ready earlier.
Once cooked, spread the pesto over the potato slices, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and pomegranate seeds. If necessary, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
HOW IS THIS HEALTHY?
Baked Sweet Potatoes with Feta, Pesto, and Pomegranate offer a delicious, nutritious meal that combines wholesome ingredients. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune function and skin health, while their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. The addition of feta cheese provides protein and calcium, essential for bone health, while pesto adds healthy fats from olive oil and nuts. Pomegranate seeds are not only visually appealing but also packed with antioxidants, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation.
