Tender roasted sweet potatoes topped with creamy feta cheese, a drizzle of golden honey, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs make this dish a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro
  • Optional toppings: toasted nuts (like walnuts or pecans), pomegranate arils, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Slice them into ¼-inch rounds—try to keep the thickness consistent for even cooking.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Brush both sides of each sweet potato round with the olive oil mixture and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure they roast evenly.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each round using a spatula or tongs. Roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the centers are tender.
  6. Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  7. Arrange the rounds on a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the top.
  8. Drizzle honey over the rounds. Start with a small amount—you can always add more as needed.
  9. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. If desired, add optional toppings like toasted nuts, pomegranate arils, or a pinch of chili flakes.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
