Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Feta Olive Salad

This recipe is suitable as a main course for 2 people or as a side dish/starter for 4. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Scrub the sweet potatoes well, place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for approx. 45-60 minutes until tender. In the meantime, prepare the salad: briefly toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan (you can skip this step), let them cool, and then grind them in a mortar and pestle. Then mix all the salad ingredients together and place the finished salad in the fridge to marinate until the potatoes are ready. Once the potatoes are done, place them on plates, slice them lengthwise, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then spoon some of the feta salad over the potatoes and top with a dollop of sour cream, tzatziki, or hummus, and enjoy.
