Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 lb.)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 c. dried cranberries
  • 1/2 c. crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes and red onion in oil then season with salt and pepper.
