Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
Seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over them, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the slices gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly. They should be tender and lightly golden when done.
- Add Feta Cheese: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven. While the rounds are still warm, immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of each slice so it slightly melts and adheres.
- Drizzle Honey: Evenly drizzle the honey over the sweet potato rounds, adding a sweet contrast to the savory feta.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley and thyme leaves (if using) on top for added flavor and color. Serve the dish immediately as a tasty side or appetizer.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh thyme with rosemary or oregano if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika before roasting.
- Make sure sweet potato slices are uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
