Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes (peeling is optional if washed thoroughly) and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds, ensuring evenly sized pieces for uniform roasting.
- Season and Arrange: Lay the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon if using, to add warmth to the flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the rounds for 20-25 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through to ensure even golden color and tenderness when pierced with a fork.
- Assemble: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter while still warm.
- Finish with Toppings: Drizzle the honey evenly over the rounds, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top. Optionally, add an extra crack of black pepper for a little bite.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm sweet potatoes with melting honey and savory feta.
Notes
- Peeling sweet potatoes is optional; if keeping the skin, scrub the potatoes well before slicing.
- Maple syrup can be used as a substitute for honey for a richer, earthier sweetness.
- Slices should be about 1/2 inch thick to maintain structure and caramelize properly.
- Leftover roasted rounds can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are best reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to avoid sogginess.
