Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Sweet Potatoes:
  • - 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • - 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • - 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • - 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
For the Whipped Feta Cream:
  • - 1 cup 200g block feta cheese, crumbled
  • - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • - 1 small garlic clove finely minced
Toppings & Garnish:
  • - 1/4 cup shredded Graviera or mozzarella cheese
  • - 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • - 1 tbsp microplaned Kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese
  • - 1/2 tsp red pepper chili flakes
  • - 1 tbsp hot honey or raw honey optional

Method
 

Preheat Oven:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season Sweet Potatoes:
  1. In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Roast:
  1. Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy on edges and tender inside.
Make Whipped Feta:
  1. Combine block feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a food processor. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Assemble:
  1. Pile hot sweet potatoes onto a platter. Dollop whipped feta cream around and over the potatoes. Top immediately with shredded Graviera/mozzarella so it melts from residual heat.
Garnish & Serve:
  1. Sprinkle with microplaned Kefalotyri, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of hot honey. Serve hot.

Notes

- Air Fryer Option: Cook seasoned sweet potato cubes in an air fryer at 390°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Make Ahead: Whipped feta can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
