Ingredients
Scale
For the Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional)
For the Toppings
- 1 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled; goat cheese can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prep Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
- Season: Toss the sweet potato rounds in a large mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated, infusing flavor and ensuring crispiness.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow for thorough roasting without crowding. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve golden brown, crispy edges.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the roasted rounds from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes; this helps the feta stay creamy without melting too much.
- Add Toppings: Transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle evenly with crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the honey over the feta-topped sweet potato rounds to add a glossy, sweet contrast to the savory base.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best texture when reheating, warm in the oven rather than the microwave to maintain crispiness.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta if preferred.
- Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky depth; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
- This dish pairs beautifully with vibrant sides like Chipotle Corn Salsa or a fresh green salad.
