Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds / 700 g), sliced into 1/4-inch (6 mm) rounds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 75 g)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes; slice them into 1/4-inch (6 mm) rounds.
- Place the slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for air circulation.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes; flip each round and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes until edges are caramelized and centers are tender.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle honey over the hot sweet potato rounds.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta on top so it softens slightly, then add fresh thyme leaves if using. Serve warm.
Notes
Use maple syrup for a different flavor. For a dairy-free version, swap feta for firm tofu or vegan feta.
