Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Seed and dice the bell pepper. Halve and thinly slice the red onion.
~10 min - 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, bell pepper, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
~5 min - 4
Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
~25 min - 5
While the vegetables are roasting, cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes.
~2 min - 6
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
~5 min - 7
Add the honey to the skillet with the halloumi and stir to coat. Cook for another minute until the honey is slightly thickened.
~1 min - 8
In a separate bowl, toss the arugula and chicory with the lemon juice. This will slightly wilt the greens.
~1 min - 9
Add the roasted vegetables to the skillet with the honey-glazed halloumi. Gently toss to combine.
~1 min - 10
Serve the halloumi and vegetable mixture over a bed of the dressed bitter greens.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables before roasting.
- If you prefer your greens less bitter, you can blanch them briefly in boiling water before dressing, or opt for a milder green like spinach.
