2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into rounds Tip: The rounds should be about ¼-inch thick for the perfect balance of crispy edges and tender centers.
2 tablespoons olive oil Olive oil ensures a crispy, golden exterior while adding a subtle richness to the sweet potatoes.
Salt and pepper, to taste Seasoning is key! Adjust according to your preference, but a light sprinkling will suffice to enhance the natural sweetness.
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese Feta cheese adds a tangy, salty contrast that complements the sweetness of the potatoes.
2 tablespoons honey Honey brings a natural sweetness and a sticky glaze that ties all the flavors together beautifully.
Optional: A sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary Herbs like thyme or rosemary add an aromatic touch that elevates the dish to gourmet levels.
Instructions
Preheat the Oven for Ideal Crispiness
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is crucial for ensuring the sweet potatoes roast evenly and develop those coveted crispy edges.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Prep the Sweet Potatoes with Care
Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush both sides with olive oil. This step ensures that each round gets that perfect golden color.
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast to Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through. Roasting them until they’re golden and crispy on the edges is key to maximizing flavor and texture.
Add the Final Touches for Flavor Explosion
Once out of the oven, drizzle each round with honey. This adds a sweet, sticky layer that pairs perfectly with the savory elements.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. The tangy feta will start to soften slightly from the heat, creating a luscious texture.
Optional: Add a touch of fresh thyme or rosemary for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve & Savor
Serve the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta warm.
They make a delightful snack, appetizer, or side dish that’s sure to impress. Watch them disappear in no time!
