Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Toppings
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and a balance of softness and crunch.
- Season and Oil: Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss well to coat each round evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Roast the Sweet Potato Rounds: Arrange the seasoned rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Add Feta Cheese: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the hot rounds so it slightly softens but does not melt completely.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the ¼ cup of honey over the sweet potato rounds and feta, adding a luscious sweetness that complements the savory seasoning and tangy feta.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
Notes
- You can swap smoked paprika for regular paprika or add a pinch of chili powder for extra heat.
- For a vegan option, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- To save time, you can prep sweet potato rounds in advance and roast them just before serving.
- This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a fresh green salad.
