Easy Vegetarian Recipe for One: Sweet Potato Noodles and Feta Bake

Sweet Potato Noodles and Feta Bake

This is a tasty vegetarian recipe for one that is ideal for using with an intermittent fasting diet - the 5:1 diet. It is only 216 calories and cost under £1 to make. Win Win.

I recently heard about using vegetables as noodles as a healthier alternative to pasta and, confess, I am hooked. Vegetable noodles are delicious raw or cooked and this recipe uses sweet potato which is probably my favourite.

The sweet potato contrasts nicely with the tang of the feta. Because the feta is salty I haven't added any more in the cooking and it was fine. Ideal for anyone trying to cut down on their salt count. The mix of the vegetable stock and feta gives this dish a delightful milky gravy.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
