Hi friends, I'm back again with another suuuper easy recipe idea! (But let's face it- do I ever cook anything that isnt?)
This is one of my go-to simple dinner ideas, its takes hardly any time at all to put together and is very nutritious and satisfying, featuring 2 of the essential ingredients in any vegetarian's pantry- sweet potatoes and hummus!
Now I must put a little warning here- do not make this dish if you are off to a job interview or a hot date later! The copious amount of raw onions may cause you to leave a lasting impression for all the wrong reasons!
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 small red onion
- 1/2 pot of hummus
- A handful of spinach leaves
- A handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 inch of cucumber
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200c/ 400F.
Pierce a few holes in the potato, wrap in tin foil and an place in the oven.
Cook for 45 minutes.
(Alternatively, if you want to go the suuper easy route, you can simply pierce the potato several times and cook in the microwave for 10 minutes, I won't judge you 😉)
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and the rest of your salad ingredients.
- Once the sweet potato is cooked, cut it and drizzle with a little olive oil or vegan butter if required.
- Then scoop on a generous amount of hummus and sprinkle the onions on top.
- Add black pepper as required and assemble your salad on the side, topped with a little olive oil.
And that's it, finito!
Some may say I've added an excessive amount of raw onions but I disagree!
The red onion works so perfectly with the sweetness of the potato and the rich flavour of the hummus- the result is so damn tasty 😝
