Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons liquid honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then slice them into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Step 2: On a large baking sheet, toss the sweet potato rounds with the olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the rounds in a single layer.
- Step 3: Roast the sweet potato rounds for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender when pierced with a fork and lightly caramelized around the edges.
- Step 4: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the warm sweet potato rounds. Return the sheet to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the feta is slightly softened.
- Step 5: Take the rounds out of the oven and immediately drizzle the honey generously over all the feta-topped sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving warm.
Notes
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping in mind that the feta and honey topping is best enjoyed fresh.
- For the best texture, reheat leftover rounds in a 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through, as microwaving can make them mushy.
- Serve these sweet and savory rounds as a delicious side dish alongside grilled chicken or pork chops, or arrange them on a platter for an elegant appetizer.
- To achieve proper caramelization, ensure the sweet potato rounds are placed in a strict single layer on the baking sheet; overcrowding causes the potatoes to steam instead of roast.
