Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Feta & Garlic

These little perfect rounds of sweet potato are bursting with flavour! They are perfect for a dinner side or even a special festive holiday evening. I just love making sweet potatoes. Anything from french fries, to mashed, to roasted in the oven with just paprika, salt and pepper. They always turn out amazing, full of flavour and moist.

Brushed with garlic butter and feta, this is an incredible way to switch up your sweet potato recipe!

This is super easy to make and can be ready in under 40 minutes. You will be happy that you did. This dish is also gluten-free! If you want to make vegan, please see my notes below.
