Ingredients
- For the Sweet Potatoes
- - 3 medium-large sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into 3/4-inch rounds
- - 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- - 1 tbsp maple syrup
- - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
- - 1/4 tsp sea salt
- - 1/4 tsp black pepper
- For the Whipped Feta
- - 6 oz feta cheese
- - 1 package 5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese

- For Garnishing

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into approximately 3/4-inch-thick rounds.
- Add the sweet potato rounds to a large bowl with olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each round. Roast for 20 minutes, flip, and continue roasting for another 10–15 minutes, until golden, caramelized, and fork-tender.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, add the feta, Boursin, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of milk or water if needed.
- Allow the roasted sweet potatoes to cool for approximately 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and top each round with a generous dollop of whipped feta. Garnish with the other toppings and enjoy!
