Sweet potatoes are such a great root vegetable, they have a wonderful bright orange color, they taste great as fries, roasted and pureed and they provide many nutrients. And while the word “sweet” leads us to associate them mostly with a sweet casserole like those served for Thanksgiving with marshmallows, maple syrup and pecans, they also pair well with a good salty cheese such as feta. For this sweet potato tart I went full Greek: plenty of sweet potato chunks roasted with feta and herbs in a phyllo crust.

Sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber and particularly high in vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and vitamin C. Beta-carotene belongs to a group of substances called carotenoids which are pigments that we find in plants and are responsible for their bright colors like the orange in the sweet potato. Beta-carotene keeps our eyes healthy and is good for our skin, it is also associated with protection from several chronic diseases.

Once we consume beta-carotene, it is converted into vitamin A. Beta carotene also has antioxidant activity and fights free radicals that play a role in aging. Beta-carotene is better absorbed when consumed with fat.

This tart is ideal for lunch or a snack, or you can accompany it with a salad for a larger meal.
