Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the slices to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly golden, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Top with Feta and Honey: Once the sweet potato rounds are done, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of each round while they’re still warm.
- Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle the honey evenly over the sweet potato rounds.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and thyme (if using) for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or smoked paprika on the sweet potatoes before roasting.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can substitute feta with a plant-based cheese or omit it entirely.
- These sweet potato rounds are great for holiday gatherings, as they can be served warm or at room temperature.
