Ingredients
To make this Sweet Potato & Spinach Bake, you will need:
- 1 medium sweet potato, grated
- 4 tablespoons chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or besan)
- 100g crumbled feta cheese
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Additions for Extra Flavor
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder – Enhances the savory flavor
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika – Adds a subtle smoky depth
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes – For a mild kick of heat
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using a fan oven, set it to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Ingredients
- Grate the sweet potato using a coarse grater. There is no need to peel it if the skin is clean.
- Chop the spinach finely to ensure it blends well into the mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
Mix Everything Together
- Add the grated sweet potato, chickpea flour, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped spinach to the bowl with the eggs.
- Season with salt and black pepper, along with any optional spices.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is evenly combined.
Shape & Bake
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly. It can be shaped into a rectangle or left more rustic.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool & Serve
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm as a savory breakfast, a light lunch, or a side dish with a complementary dip.
This Sweet Potato & Spinach Bake pairs well with:
Avocado slices – Adds a creamy texture
Fresh salad – Provides a refreshing contrast
Garlic yogurt dip – A tangy and flavorful pairing
