Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
Seasoning & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Slice the sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Toss with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, tossing until each slice is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to help them roast evenly and get golden.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the slices halfway through to cook both sides until tender and golden brown.
- Cool slightly: Remove the tray from the oven and let the sweet potatoes cool briefly so the toppings won’t melt or slide off.
- Plate the rounds: Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds neatly on a serving platter to prepare for garnishing.
- Add feta cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the warm sweet potatoes to add creamy tanginess.
- Drizzle with honey and garnish: Drizzle the honey evenly on top and finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve these sweet and savory roasted sweet potato rounds warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes evenly for consistent roasting.
- For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on the baking sheet.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option (omit feta to keep vegan).
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
