Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the sweet potatoes roast evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
- Slice sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, making sure the slices are uniform in thickness to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Toss and season: In a bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to allow proper roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time. Roast until the edges are golden brown and the rounds are crispy.
- Drizzle and top: Warm the honey slightly before removing the sweet potato rounds from the oven. Drizzle the warm honey evenly over the roasted rounds, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for a hint of heat.
- Serve: Arrange the sweet potato rounds beautifully on a serving platter and serve them warm to enjoy the best combination of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Preheat your oven fully to ensure crispy edges on the sweet potato rounds.
- Slice sweet potatoes evenly for uniform roasting and crispiness.
- Add honey only after roasting to prevent it from burning in the oven.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper roasting, which keeps the rounds crispy rather than steamed.
