Whipped Feta & Walnut Sweet Potato Bites

by: Bee

Ingredients:

- 1-2 purple sweet potatoes, scrubbed

- 1 cup of feta

- 1-2 tbsps of Greek yogurt

- 1-2 cloves of garlic

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- pepper (NO salt! The feta has plenty!)

- 1/3 cup of walnuts

- 1/4 cup raisins

- 2 large leaves of kale (or around 1 1/2 cups)

- 2 tbsp of honey

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds.

3. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly golden at the edges.

5. In a food processor, blend the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and about 1 tbsp of brine until smooth and creamy.

6. Taste and adjust with a drizzle of honey or a pinch of pepper, if desired.

7. In a cast iron skillet, toast the walnuts, then transfer to a small bowl to cool.

8. In the same skillet, add the chopped kale, cooking until just wilted (2–3 minutes), adding a splash of water if needed to prevent burning.

9. Add the kale to the bowl with the walnuts.

10. Roughly chop the raisins and add them to the bowl along with the honey. Mix well to combine.

11. To assemble, spread a spoonful of whipped feta on each sweet potato round and top with the walnut–kale–raisin–honey mixture.

12. Arrange on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or party bite.
