Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Place the rounds in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
- Lay the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overlap.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flip the rounds, and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized on the edges.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey while still warm.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta over the rounds. Add fresh thyme or parsley for garnish, if desired.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm.
Notes
For a slightly melted feta, add it during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Keep an eye on the oven to prevent burning. Optional substitutions include maple syrup for honey or goat cheese for feta.
