👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Prick the cauliflower with a fork in several places.
  3. 3
    Arrange the cauliflower in a baking dish.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Roast the cauliflower in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 45–55 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

To assemble

  1. 5
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the garlic and fry until fragrant.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
  2. 6
    Add the spinach and fry' 3 minutes', and season with salt and black pepper.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 7
    Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise and gently open them.
    Knife
    💡Test with a knife: the sweet potato is ready when the blade slides to the center without resistance; a firm sweet potato won't open into a boat.
  4. 8
    Fill the sweet potatoes with the spinach and sprinkle the feta cheese on top.
  5. 9
    Bake' the stuffed sweet potatoes' 5 minutes, until the filling heats through.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
