Sweet Potato Feta Poppers

• 3 long, thin sweet potatoes, peeled (~1.5 pounds)
• 1 Tbs + 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 oz reduced fat herbed crumbled feta (3/4 c.)
• 2 Tbs fresh chives, chopped
• Fresh ground pepper

1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Cut potatoes into 3/4" thick rounds. With a melon baller, carefully scoop a pocket into each potato pieces, being careful not to scoop through the bottoms; discard scooped-out portion.
3. Combine potatoes, 1 Tbs oil and garlic in a ziploc. Toss to coat. Spread potatoes out on the baking sheet, scooped side up, and roast until tender and edges begin to brown, 18-20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, mash feta, chives & 1 tsp oil in a small bowl. Season with pepper.
5. Remove potatoes from oven & fill with a heaping 1/2 tsp cheese mixture. Return to oven & bake until heated through, ~5 minutes. Serve warm.
