Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp honey (or more to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Slice them into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Toss the rounds with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Arrange on a serving platter.
- Crumble feta cheese over each round.
- Drizzle with honey just before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy variation.
- Use goat cheese or ricotta instead of feta for a different flavor.
- Top with crushed nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Try balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangy finish.
- Best when honey and feta are added fresh after reheating.
