🧀 Sweet Potato & Feta Bowl (Single Serve)

Prep + Cook Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 1
Effort Level: Casual (you’ll mostly be waiting on the oven)

🛒 Ingredients

½ small sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 100–120g)
30g feta cheese (crumbled)
½ cup cooked quinoa (pre-cooked or from a packet works great)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: pinch of cumin, paprika, or a squeeze of lemon

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Roast the Sweet Potato

Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan forced) or 220°C (conventional).
Toss your diced sweet potato with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread it out on a lined tray and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden on the edges and soft in the middle.

💡 Plan4One Tip: Want to spice it up? Add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika before roasting.

2. Prep the Base

While the sweet potato roasts, warm your ½ cup cooked quinoa (microwave for 30–40 seconds if needed).
Crumble your 30g feta and set aside.
Feel free to add any herbs, greens, or extras hiding in your fridge.

3. Toss and Serve

When the sweet potato is ready, toss it with the quinoa in a bowl.
Add the feta and drizzle over the remaining ½ tsp olive oil.
Mix gently, taste, and season with more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon if you like.

🧂 Optional: Add a handful of rocket or baby spinach for bonus greenery.

🥄 Serving Suggestions

This bowl is perfect just as it is — warm, slightly creamy from the feta, and earthy-sweet from the roasted sweet potato. But if you want to mix things up, try:

🥑 Adding avocado slices
🌰 Sprinkling with toasted seeds or nuts
🍳 Topping with a soft-boiled or fried egg
🌿 Mixing in chopped parsley, mint, or coriander

💚 Nutrition Highlights

This is a powerhouse little bowl:

Sweet potato gives you beta-carotene, fibre & natural sweetness
Feta adds calcium, protein & creamy contrast
Quinoa brings plant-based protein & complex carbs
Olive oil supports heart health with healthy fats

It’s a great option if you’re after something:

Vegetarian
Naturally gluten-free
Balanced and nourishing
Light enough for lunch, filling enough for dinner

🧊 Got Leftovers?

Unlikely — this is a true single-serve meal.
But if you double the sweet potato or quinoa, you’re halfway to tomorrow’s lunch.

Store extras in the fridge (separate from the feta if you want it to stay sharp) and reheat or eat cold as a salad.

🧽 Dishes? Minimal.

One tray, one bowl, one fork. That’s dinner done with almost zero cleanup. Now you can go back to your book, show, or scroll without dreading the sink.
