Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even roasting.
  2. Season: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
  4. Arrange: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the sweet potato slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
  5. Roast: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are tender and have a slight golden-brown color. Test doneness by piercing with a fork.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sweet potato rounds cool for a few minutes to allow easy handling.
  7. Top: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm sweet potato slices so it softens slightly.
  8. Drizzle: Generously drizzle honey over the feta-topped sweet potatoes to add sweetness.
  9. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh thyme leaves and nuts (walnuts or pecans) to add flavor and texture.
  10. Balsamic Glaze (Optional): Drizzle balsamic glaze over the rounds for a tangy finishing touch.
  11. Serve: Serve the sweet potato rounds immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For crispier sweet potato rounds, roast them on a wire rack placed on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
  • Use honey varieties like wildflower or clover for different nuanced sweetness.
  • Feta cheese can be substituted with goat cheese or ricotta salata for a different flavor profile.
  • These rounds can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light snack.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
  • To keep this recipe vegan, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese and use agave syrup instead of honey.
