Description
These roasted sweet potato rounds offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Sweet potato slices are roasted until tender and caramelized, developing a rich, earthy sweetness. They are then gently drizzled with honey, adding a subtle floral note, and topped with crumbled feta cheese, which introduces a tangy, salty counterpoint. Fresh thyme sprigs provide an aromatic finish, making this dish a vibrant and sophisticated side or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or small sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the roasted sweet potatoes with honey.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the sweet potatoes.
- Garnish with fresh thyme leaves or small sprigs before serving warm.
Notes
For even cooking, ensure all sweet potato rounds are sliced to a similar thickness.
Parchment paper is recommended to prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.
Adjust the amount of honey and feta to suit your preference for sweetness and tang.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated, though best served fresh.
