CHEF’S TIP

Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly before adding salad leaves so they do not wilt.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Toss the sweet potato and chickpeas with half the olive oil, paprika and seasoning.
  2. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until the sweet potato is tender and the chickpeas are lightly crisp.
  3. Whisk the remaining olive oil with lemon juice and honey.
  4. Arrange the salad leaves, roast mixture, avocado and feta on a platter and drizzle with dressing.

GOOD TO KNOW

  1. Freezer friendly? NO
  2. Leftovers? – Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
