Skills:
Appetizer making
1 large sweet potato
1/2 medium kohlrabi
1/3 of a chorizo sausage (look for nitrate-free if possible)
150 g (5.3 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
1 large bunch of fresh parsley
30 ml (2 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Sea salt to taste
Oven with oven rack
Wooden cutting board
Sharp kitchen knife
Small bowl
Tongs
Pestle and mortar (or small food processor)
Spoon
Sweet Potato Slicing Tip:
Aim for 0.5 cm (1/5 inch) thick slices—too thick and they won’t crisp, too thin and they’ll break under the topping.
Chorizo Tip:
Pan-frying the chopped chorizo for 1–2 minutes before adding enhances its flavor and texture.
Parsley Oil Hack:
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, use a small blender to pulse the parsley and oil into a coarse paste.
Kohlrabi Prep Tip:
Peel the kohlrabi thoroughly to remove the tough outer layer before dicing finely (brunoise-style).
Serving Suggestion:
Serve warm or at room temperature with a glass of crisp white wine or sparkling water infused with lemon and mint.
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) and allow it to fully preheat.
2. Prepare the sweet potato
Peel the sweet potato and slice it into 0.5 cm (1/5 inch) thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
3. Season the slices
Place the sweet potato slices on a tray. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Roast
Place the slices on the oven rack or baking tray and roast for 15 minutes, or until tender but not too soft. They should hold their shape.
5. Prepare the chorizo
While the sweet potatoes are baking, finely dice the chorizo into small bits. Optional: lightly pan-fry for extra crispness and depth of flavor.
6. Make the parsley oil
Finely chop the fresh parsley. Transfer to a pestle and mortar and pound until aromatic. Add 30 ml (2 tbsp) of olive oil and mix well. (Alternatively, pulse in a small blender.)
7. Dice the kohlrabi
Peel the kohlrabi and dice into tiny cubes (brunoise cut). The finer, the better for topping balance.
8. Mix the topping
In a bowl, combine:
The diced kohlrabi
The crumbled feta cheese (150 g / 5.3 oz)
The chopped chorizo
The parsley oil
Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
9. Assemble the bites
Remove sweet potato slices from the oven and let cool slightly.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the herby feta mixture.
10. Serve
Arrange on a platter and serve immediately as a warm appetizer or savory finger food.

Refrigeration:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Note: The sweet potato base may soften slightly over time.
Reheating:
Gently reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5–7 minutes to restore texture. Avoid microwaving to maintain crisp edges.
Make Ahead Tips:
Roast the sweet potato rounds in advance and store separately.
Prepare the topping mix (feta, parsley, kohlrabi, chorizo) and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
