Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 lime, juiced

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well-coated. Spread them out evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

      Prepare the Avocado Mix: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, in a separate bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and season with a pinch of salt. If you like a little heat, add the red pepper flakes. Gently mix to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

        Assemble the Bites: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. On a serving platter, place a scoop of the avocado mixture on each sweet potato cube.

          Garnish: If desired, sprinkle the top with crumbled feta cheese and a few extra cilantro leaves for an added flavor dimension.

            Serve: Enjoy these Zesty Sweet Potato and Avocado Bites as a delightful appetizer or snack!
