- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Optional toppings:
Sweet potatoes roast up with caramelized edges and creamy centers, making a sturdy base for toppings. Olive oil, salt, and pepper help them brown and deepen in flavor, while feta’s salty tang cuts through the natural sweetness and honey adds a glossy finish. Fresh herbs, chili flakes, and nuts layer in aroma, heat, and crunch so you can tailor the dish to your menu.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss until each round is evenly coated.
- Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between slices so they roast instead of steam.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, then flip each round. Roast another 10–15 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown at the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the Toppings
- Transfer the hot sweet potato rounds to a serving platter, keeping them in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
- Drizzle with honey while still warm so it lightly soaks into the surfaces.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the top.
- Finish, if desired, with chopped fresh herbs, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and/or toasted nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve
- Serve warm as a side dish with roasted meats, fish, or chicken, or present on an appetizer board so guests can pick up individual rounds.
- For a more composed presentation, top each round with a small pinch of feta and herbs so every bite is balanced.
