Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice sweet potatoes: Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, keeping slices uniform for even roasting.
- Toss and season: Toss rounds in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
- Roast: Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
- Drizzle and top: Warm the honey slightly. Drizzle the roasted rounds with warm honey immediately after baking. Sprinkle crumbled feta, fresh thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
- Serve: Arrange beautifully on a platter and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Preheat the oven fully to ensure crispy edges.
- Slice sweet potatoes evenly for uniform roasting.
- Add honey only after roasting to prevent burning.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve true roasting, not steaming.
