Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or parsley) for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes:
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds (no need to peel them).
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the sweet potatoes:
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rounds are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Add the toppings:
- Once the sweet potato rounds are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the rounds.
- Drizzle honey over the top for a touch of sweetness.
- Garnish and serve:
- If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or light meal.
Tips:
- Uniform slicing: Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to ensure the sweet potato rounds are even in thickness for consistent roasting.
- Customize the toppings: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick or swap feta for goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- Make it ahead: Roast the sweet potato rounds in advance and reheat them in the oven before adding the toppings.
