Roasted Sweet Potato Bites with Cranberry-Feta Crumble

Ingredients

- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, orange zest, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Spread the coated sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Transfer to the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

4. Make the Cranberry-Feta Crumble:
While the potatoes are roasting, in a small mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, crumbled feta, chopped hazelnuts, melted butter, and cinnamon. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

5. Assemble the Bites:
After the sweet potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar.

6. Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle the cranberry-feta mixture evenly over the roasted sweet potatoes, followed by the fresh thyme leaves.

7. Final Touch:
To add a finishing touch, return the assembled dish to the oven for 5 more minutes to slightly melt the feta and warm the toppings.
