SUCCULENT SWEET POTATO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Weigh out 10g of butter and place in a bowl. Set aside to come up to room temperature. Spread out the sweet potato half-moons on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through.
OLIVE & BASIL DRESSING
Combine the basil pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil, some Lemon zest to taste, and three-quarters of the chopped olives. Set aside for serving.
Kale & BUTTER BASTING
Place the shredded Kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of Lemon juice, and seasoning to taste. Using your hands, gently massage the kale until softened and coated in oil. Combine the softened butter with some lemon zest and seasoning to taste.
GET BAKING
When the sweet potato has reached the halfway mark, flip them over and shift to the sides of the tray. Spread out the halved baby tomatoes in the middle, coat in oil, and season. Pat the basa fillet dry with some paper towel and pop on top of the tomatoes. Spread the zesty butter over the upper side of the fillet and scatter the Kale over the rest of the tomatoes. Return the packed roast to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven when the fish is cooked through, the kale is crispy, the tomatoes have blistered, and the sweet potato is crisping up.
DIG IN
Plate up this roasted goodness any way you wish! Drizzle liberally with the olive and basil pesto dressing and crumble over the drained Feta. Garnish with the fresh mint leaves and remaining olives. Don’t forget a Lemon wedge for serving. Bon appétit!
