🗒️ Ingredients

Steps

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
‍
Drizzle olive oil on the bottom of a large sheet pan, season with salt, and place the sweet potatoes face down. Drizzle the tops with olive oil and season with salt.
‍
Place in the oven for about 35 minutes, removing them from the oven at about 25 minutes. Flip them, move them to one side, then add the pecans to the other side of the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the sheet pan and allow the sweet potatoes to cook until tender.
‍
While the sweet potatoes roast, make the crumble. Chop the pecans, then add the dates and chop them as well. Add the feta and arugula, chopping after each ingredient is added. Add the salt, pepper, and lemon zest, and chop until the mixture is combined and a “crumble” is created.
‍
Place the sweet potatoes on a plate, gently press down on each with a fork. Top with the crumble and the optional tahini-balsamic drizzle.
