Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
Seasonings & Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Toppings
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Fresh parsley, chopped (to taste for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into rounds about ½ inch thick to ensure even roasting.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the sweet potato rounds and toss well to coat each slice evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to allow for proper roasting and crisping.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Flip the rounds halfway through cooking to ensure they are crispy on the edges and tender in the center.
- Add Toppings: Remove the roasted sweet potato rounds from the oven. Immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly on top so it slightly softens with the heat.
- Drizzle Honey & Garnish: Drizzle honey over the sweet potato rounds for a perfect balance of sweetness, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, but feta cheese would then need replacing with a vegan cheese.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- Optional: add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
