Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and dry them with a paper towel. Poke some holes in each sweet potato with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub the sweet potatoes with a little bit of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
2
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the lemon-tahini dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little bit of water as needed to achieve the right consistency.
3
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, peel off the skin and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
4
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the sweet potato and feta mixture, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of sumac and a few pomegranate seeds if desired.
