If you’ve never roasted feta cheese, you need to give it a try and this recipe is perfect for that. Sweet potatoes are roasted until fork tender on a sheet pan along with other Greek inspired ingredients, such as kalamata olives, tomatoes, and of course, feta.

The kalamata olives warm and become soft and velvety, while the tomatoes burst and add a nice sauce-like consistency. The chickpeas become slightly crunchy and the dill brings everything together with its earthy taste.
