• 4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and trim off the ends. Slice each sweet potato into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 3: Season and Roast the Sweet Potatoes

1. Arrange the sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheet, well-side up.
2. Lightly spray or brush each slice with olive oil, and sprinkle with Italian Herb Blend.
3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and they’re tender.

Step 4: Make the Feta Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the feta cheese with a fork until it’s slightly smooth.
2. Add the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Greek seasoning, and green onions to the feta. Stir well to combine until you have a creamy mixture.

Step 5: Assemble and Finish Baking

1. Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven.
2. Fill each well with a spoonful of the feta mixture.
3. Return the sweet potato bites to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese mixture begins to melt and warm through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve the sweet potato bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
2. Garnish with additional green onions if desired and enjoy!
