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
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Slice sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, ensuring all slices are uniform in thickness to promote even roasting.
- Toss and season: In a bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping to allow for crisp edges.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the rounds for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking so both sides become golden and crispy.
- Drizzle and top: Warm the honey slightly to make it pourable. Immediately after removing the sweet potato rounds from the oven, drizzle the warm honey over them. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you desire a little heat.
- Serve: Arrange the honey feta sweet potato rounds on a serving platter and serve warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For even crisper slices, make sure the sweet potato rounds are cut uniformly.
- Warming the honey makes it easier to drizzle evenly over the hot potatoes.
- Feel free to swap fresh thyme for rosemary or other herbs based on preference.
- Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice contrast to the sweet and salty flavors.
- Serve these rounds as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
