Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Toss the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potato rounds for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm sweet potato rounds.
- Drizzle the honey over the feta-topped sweet potato rounds.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh thyme, nuts (walnuts or pecans), and drizzle balsamic glaze over the rounds.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- If you prefer a crispier texture, roast the sweet potatoes a little longer or at a higher temperature.
- For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a vegan feta alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes evenly for uniform roasting.
- These rounds are best served immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
