Baked Sweet Potato with Olives, Feta, and Chilli

Ingredients for Baked Sweet Potato with Olives, Feta, and Chilli

• 2 very large or 4–5 small sweet potatoes

• Olive oil, for greasing and drizzling

• Coarse sea salt

• 50 g creamy feta (about 80ml crumbles)

• A small handful of salty black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

• 1 red chilli pepper (with or without seeds), sliced into rings

• A small handful of fresh coriander leaves, coarsely chopped

Preheat the oven to 204°C. Scrub, rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Pour a little olive oil on to your palms and rub this over the unpeeled sweet potatoes.

Next, rub in some coarse salt. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times on all sides using a small sharp knife, then wrap them in tin foil and bake for an hour (or a little longer, if necessary) until done. Use half of them immediately and leave the rest to cool.

Place the sweet potato(es) on a plate and open the foil. Cut in half lengthways, then press on the outside of the halves so that the fluffy flesh bulges out slightly. Crumble the feta over the sweet potato(es), top with the olives, chilli pepper and coriander, and drizzle generously with olive oil.
