Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scrub the sweet potatoes well, pat dry, and cut into 1-inch cubes.

In a large bowl, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and maple syrup (if using). Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for crisping.

Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until deep golden and caramelized on the edges.

While the potatoes roast, make the whipped feta: in a food processor or blender, combine feta (or goat cheese), yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and 1–2 tsp water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Adjust thickness with a splash more water or lemon juice.

Spread the whipped feta across a serving plate. Pile the hot roasted sweet potatoes on top. Drizzle with hot honey, sprinkle with toasted nuts or seeds, herbs, and a pinch of flaky salt. Serve warm.

Subs: use dairy-free feta or swap in a lemony cashew cream or hummus blended with cottage cheese
