Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 1 large sweet potato, about 2 ½ - 3 inches wide
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Chives, cut into 1-inch pieces, to garnish
  • Maazah lemon aioli, to taste
  • 3-4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

For the Whipped Feta:

  • 6 oz. Mt. Vikos feta cheese block
  • 2 Tablespoons Maazah lemon aioli
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°. Peel sweet potatoes and slice into ¾-inch rounds.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the sweet potato to coat completely, arrange on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet, and roast for about 10 minutes. Flip and roast another 10 minutes, until tender and edges are golden brown.

In a food processor or blender, crumble the block of feta, add lemon aioli, then stream in olive oil and puree until creamy.

To assemble, place the roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter, top with a scant tablespoon of whipped feta, drizzle with Maazah lemon aioli, add two chives, and top with bacon crumbles.
