Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Toppings
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the sweet potato slices.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Carefully slice the washed sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds for even cooking and perfect texture.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss well until every slice is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned sweet potato slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even roasting.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Turn the slices halfway through cooking to help them brown and cook evenly until tender and golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes to firm up and cool slightly before topping.
- Arrange on Platter: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter, spreading them out attractively.
- Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the warm sweet potato rounds to add a tangy and creamy contrast.
- Drizzle Honey & Garnish: Drizzle the sweet potatoes with honey to add sweetness and finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
- Serve: Serve these roasted sweet potato rounds warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure uniform roasting.
- You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or omit for a vegan option and drizzle more honey or maple syrup instead.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
