Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until they’re evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast: Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve a tender and golden brown finish.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sweet potato rounds to cool slightly to help the toppings adhere better.
- Plate: Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds neatly on a serving platter for presentation.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Drizzle honey over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley to enhance both flavor and appearance.
- Serve: Serve the dish warm or at room temperature for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicy kick.
- Ensure sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- If you want crispier edges, roast a few extra minutes but keep an eye to prevent burning.
- Fresh parsley can be replaced with cilantro or chives depending on preference.
