  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium firm sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into evenly sized rounds about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
  2. Season the Rounds: Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly with oil and seasoning.
  3. Arrange and Roast: Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, making sure they do not overlap. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rounds are golden and tender inside.
  4. Add Feta and Herbs: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the rounds. If using fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary, scatter them on top. Return to the oven for 3-5 more minutes until the feta softens slightly without melting completely.
  5. Drizzle Honey and Serve: Take the rounds out of the oven and while still warm, drizzle them generously with honey. The honey will melt slightly into the warm feta and sweet potatoes, creating a delicious glaze. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice sweet potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure crisp edges on each round.
  • Flip gently halfway through roasting to avoid breaking the rounds and to brown both sides beautifully.
  • Let sweet potatoes and feta come closer to room temperature before cooking for better texture balance.
  • Try wildflower or lavender honey varieties for subtle flavor nuances that complement the feta.
