Ingredients

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel 2 medium sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler to remove all skin. Then slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds. Aim for even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Season: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until all slices are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the oven is fully heated before placing the sweet potatoes inside for optimal roasting.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer without overlapping. Use two sheets if necessary to avoid crowding.
  5. Roast: Roast the sweet potato rounds in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should be tender and slightly browned when done. Test doneness by piercing with a fork.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to prevent the feta from melting excessively when added.
  7. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm sweet potato rounds to introduce a salty and tangy flavor contrast.
  8. Drizzle Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of good quality honey over the feta-topped sweet potatoes to add sweetness and tie the flavors together.
  9. Add Optional Toppings: If using, sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves and ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans over the rounds for added herbaceous notes and crunch.
  10. Drizzle Balsamic Glaze: Optionally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the assembled rounds for extra tang and visual appeal.
  11. Serve: Serve the Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese, ricotta, or Parmesan based on preference.
  • If you lack honey, maple syrup or agave nectar work well as alternatives.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting for a spicy kick.
  • Use other fresh herbs like rosemary, oregano, or sage if thyme is unavailable.
  • For a nut-free version, omit walnuts/pecans or replace them with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • To make a complete meal, serve with grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • These rounds can also be air fried at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in oven, microwave, or air fryer.
