- 2 tbsp (30 mL) canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili powder
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, divided
- 1 tub (400 g) cow’s milk feta cheese, drained and patted dry
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) salted butter

Cut sweet potatoes in half crosswise then in half again lengthwise. Cut each into wedges and place in a large bowl. Add red onion, oil, chili powder and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt. Toss together to coat well.
Grill sweet potato and onion, turning occasionally for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly charred and tender. Return to bowl. Increase grill to medium-high.

Close lid and grill for 3 minutes. Turn feta and add lemon juice. Cook for another 3 minutes or until softened and light golden.
Meanwhile, whisk together cream, lemon zest, honey and remaining salt. Pour into skillet with feta to warm through.
