Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into rounds (about 454 grams / 16 ounces)
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Chopped fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme), optional
Instructions
- Carefully slice sweet potatoes into uniform, quarter-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Generously coat potato rounds with olive oil, ensuring each slice is completely and evenly covered with seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Arrange potato rounds meticulously on a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining a single layer without overlapping to promote proper caramelization and crisp edges.
- Roast in a preheated 425°F oven for 22-27 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through cooking to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration and tender interior.
- Once potatoes are fork-tender with crispy edges, remove from oven and immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the warm rounds.
- Elegantly drizzle high-quality honey in a delicate zigzag pattern, creating a sweet contrast to the savory roasted potatoes.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance aromatic complexity and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while warm to experience the perfect balance of crispy, sweet, and tangy flavors.
Notes
- Choose uniformly sized sweet potato rounds for even cooking and consistent texture.
- Pat sweet potato slices dry before seasoning to help them crisp up and caramelize better during roasting.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for enhanced flavor and better browning of the sweet potato rounds.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to add depth to the dish’s flavor profile.
