Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
Seasoning & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, ensuring they are uniform in thickness for even roasting and consistent texture.
- Toss and Season: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Roast: Roast the sweet potato rounds in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Roast until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Drizzle and Top: Warm the honey slightly so it is easy to drizzle. Immediately after roasting, drizzle the honey over the sweet potato rounds. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, then add fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor.
- Serve: Arrange the sweet potato rounds beautifully on a serving platter. Serve warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For uniform cooking, ensure sweet potato slices are all the same thickness.
- Use warmed honey for easier drizzling and better coating.
- Red pepper flakes add a subtle heat; omit if preferring a milder dish.
- Make ahead by roasting the sweet potatoes in advance and adding honey and feta just before serving.
- Can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
