Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Liquids and Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a scorching 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper so your sweet potato rounds won’t stick.
- Take your sweet potato slices and arrange them in a single, neat layer across the baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the rounds, ensuring each slice gets a glossy coating.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper across the potatoes. Scatter 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves evenly, then gently flip each round to guarantee both sides are seasoned perfectly.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 425°F oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. After the first roasting period, carefully flip each round to ensure even caramelization.
- Continue roasting another 10-15 minutes until the edges turn golden and the centers become tender and soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven while the rounds are still warm. Gracefully drizzle 3 tablespoons honey across the potatoes.
- Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta cheese over the honey-glazed rounds, letting the cheese slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves for a vibrant, herbal touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- Always slice sweet potatoes into uniform rounds to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Pat the potato slices dry with paper towels before adding oil to help them crisp up beautifully and prevent steaming.
- Use fresh thyme instead of dried for a more vibrant, aromatic flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- For a dairy-free version, replace feta with toasted pine nuts or nutritional yeast to maintain a similar salty, nutty profile.
