  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Variations

  • Toasted walnuts or pecans for crunch (about ¼ cup)
  • Goat cheese instead of feta (½ cup, crumbled)
  • Smoked paprika or cinnamon, a dash for warmth
  • Maple syrup as honey substitute for vegan option (2 tablespoons)
  • Baby arugula or spinach for serving (a handful)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into evenly thick rounds about half an inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season and Roast: Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush or drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender.
  3. Drizzle with Honey and Add Feta: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven while still warm. Drizzle honey evenly over the rounds and crumble feta cheese on top, allowing the heat to slightly soften the cheese.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or thyme over the top for freshness and color. Serve immediately to enjoy the flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline for uniform sweet potato slices to ensure even roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; lay rounds in a single layer to avoid steaming.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste—start with a light drizzle and add more if desired.
  • Choose fresh, crumbly feta cheese for the best flavor.
  • Serve the dish warm for optimal taste and texture.
  • For vegan variation, swap feta for plant-based cheese and honey for maple syrup.
