This Greek inspired healthy appetizer with roasted sweet potatoes, chopped olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese will have your guests asking for more.
It's 5 Ingredient Friday and I'm gearing up for Seahawk's football Sunday with this healthy appetizer. I can't recall a family member or friend who can resist roasted sweet potatoes, so turning them into bites I can put on the buffet table was an easy task.
Roasting sweet potatoes brings out their nutty sweetness and slicing them into rounds made them a replacement for crackers that my gluten-free friends can appreciate. All it takes is a hot oven, a spritz of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and herbs like dried oregano to add flavor while the potatoes roast in the oven.
Minced olives or a store purchased olive tapenade like Sofia's (typically a mixture of olives, garlic, and herbs), chopped tomatoes, and tart feta cheeseadd even more flavor - a must for healthy appetizer recipes to be appealing.
The glass of red was Mr. Mike's request and he was completely on target. A sip of red and bite of sweet potato, olive, and feta is completely delicious.
Thank you to Sofia's Selection for sharing their olive tapenades. You can find their products at Whole Foods Markets in Michigan, or online. This was my first experience cooking with an olive tapenade, and I will definitely have a jar of this savory, briny treat in the pantry ready for the holidays.
Have a terrific weekend!
