Slice sweet potatoes into ¼-inch rounds and season with olive oil and cinnamon.Roast at 425°F until tender and caramelized around the edges.Top with crumbled feta, honey, and fresh herbs before serving.
Ingredients
- - 2 large sweet potatoes about 1 pound, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- - 2 tablespoons olive oil
- - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- - ½ teaspoon sea salt
- - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- - 3 ounces crumbled feta cheese about ¾ cup
- - 2 tablespoons honey
- - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into rounds approximately ¼-inch thick. Try to keep the slices similar in thickness so they cook evenly.
- Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Toss gently until every slice is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between the rounds so they roast rather than steam.
- Roast for 10–12 minutes.
- Carefully flip each round and return the baking sheet to the oven.
- Continue roasting for another 10–13 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender in the center and golden and lightly crisp around the edges.
- Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and immediately scatter the crumbled feta over the warm rounds.
- Drizzle the honey evenly over the feta and sweet potatoes.
- Finish the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta with fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
Notes
You can substitute goat cheese for feta if you prefer a softer, creamier topping.
Maple syrup can replace honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
For a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper along with the cinnamon.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add another layer of sweet-tangy flavor.
For a heartier appetizer, top the roasted sweet potato rounds with chopped walnuts or pecans along with the feta.
