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.
