Overview

These could very well be the world's most tasty sweet potato and feta rolls recipe. They're relatively straight forward to make and you'll absolutely love them. You'll especially find these rolls delicious if you enjoy sweet potato.

You won't need any fancy equipment for this one, but nevertheless, I would rate the difficult of making these as 'medium.' They're not necessarily difficult to make, but they do take quite a while; so make sure you free up around 60-90 minutes.

As a nutritionist and passionate foodie, I've tested quite a few sweet potato and feta roll recipes that I've found online. However, they all seemed to be lacking something, and only a few of them could be considered 'healthy.' I'm happy to announce, that after multiple tests, and more time than I care to admit, I finally believe that I've found the perfect balance of taste and health.

That's right. These sweet potato and feta rolls are both delicious and nutritious.

Perfect For Sharing And Snacking

These little critters are always an absolute hit at social events and functions; especially if you're catering for a vegetarian. I've found that people are always keen to try new interesting sounding foods, and these sweet potato and feta rolls definitely have that intrigue factor.

You can make them as small, or as large as you wish, which means that they can also be cut up into smaller pieces, placed in the fridge and eaten as a snack throughout the week.

Taste & Consistency

These sweet potato and feta rolls are an absolute taste bud sensation. I designed this recipe so that the rolls don't have an overpowering feta taste. Instead, the feta serves as a 'secondary' flavour which serves to further enhance the amazing taste of sweet potato.

If you're game, you can also make the puff pastry yourself, instead of purchasing sheets from the supermarket. However, doing so will add a fair bit of extra time onto your prep and cooking time.
