Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or cinnamon (optional)

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of smoked paprika or cinnamon for an optional smoky or warm spice flavor.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Lay the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tenderness.
  5. Add Honey and Feta: Once roasted and golden, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, drizzle them evenly with honey, and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top while still warm.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or thyme if desired, and serve warm as a delightful side dish or snack.

Notes

  • Customize the spice by choosing smoked paprika for a smoky flavor or cinnamon for a warm sweetness.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • These sweet potato rounds can be prepared in advance and reheated in the oven before serving.
  • Pair with a fresh salad or grilled meats for a complete meal.
