Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Honey Feta Topping
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the sweet potato rounds.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Sweet Potato Rounds: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Prepare the Honey Feta Mixture: While the sweet potatoes roast, crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and drizzle the honey over it. Mix thoroughly until well combined to create a sweet, creamy topping.
- Top the Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Once roasted, let the sweet potato rounds cool for a few minutes. Then spoon an even layer of the honey-feta mixture onto each round.
- Finish Baking: Return the topped sweet potato rounds to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the feta to melt slightly and become bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle the fresh chopped herbs over the top, and serve the rounds warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For a stronger herb flavor, consider using fresh rosemary or thyme finely chopped.
- Sweet potatoes can vary in size, adjust the quantities and baking time accordingly.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
- These rounds can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside main courses.
