Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 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

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes: Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, ensuring slices are uniform in thickness for even roasting.
  3. Toss and season: Toss the sweet potato rounds in olive oil, then season evenly with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping to ensure crisp edges.
  4. Roast: Roast the rounds in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Roast until the edges are golden brown and crispy while the centers remain tender.
  5. Drizzle and top: Warm the honey slightly to make it easier to drizzle. Right after removing the sweet potatoes from the oven, drizzle the warm honey over them. Then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, and add fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor and garnish.
  6. Serve: Arrange the sweet potato rounds beautifully on a platter and serve warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese and use agave syrup instead of honey.
  • Ensure even slicing for uniform cooking.
  • Red pepper flakes add a subtle kick but can be omitted if you prefer a milder dish.
  • Sweet potatoes can be pre-soaked in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to enhance crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
