Ingredients
🥔 For the Sweet Potato Rounds:
-
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
🍯 For the Toppings:
-
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
-
Optional: chopped pecans, pistachios, or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds (no need to peel).
-
In a large bowl, toss the slices with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
💡 Tip: For crispier rounds, pat the slices dry with a paper towel before tossing in oil.
2. Roast to Perfection
-
Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet — avoid overlapping.
-
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
The rounds should be tender inside with golden-brown, slightly crisp edges.
🔥 Optional: For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
3. Add the Feta and Honey
-
Remove the rounds from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
-
While still warm, top each slice with crumbled feta cheese.
-
Drizzle generously with honey so it melts slightly into the cheese.
💛 The warm potatoes soften the feta and blend beautifully with the honey.
4. Garnish and Serve
-
Sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary for a fragrant finish.
-
Add nuts or chili flakes for texture and flavor contrast.
-
Serve immediately while warm and melty.
✨ Presentation idea: Arrange in a circular pattern on a white platter and drizzle extra honey right before serving.
