Ingredients

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler and slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Rounds: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
  5. Check for Doneness: Pierce the rounds with a fork after 20 minutes; if not tender, continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the rounds cool for a few minutes to prevent the feta from melting excessively.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm sweet potatoes.
  8. Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle honey generously over the feta-topped rounds to add sweetness.
  9. Add Optional Garnishes: If using, top with chopped fresh thyme and nuts for extra flavor and crunch, then drizzle balsamic glaze if desired.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.

Notes

  • You may substitute sweet potatoes with white or purple varieties.
  • If feta isn’t preferred, goat cheese, ricotta, or Parmesan can be used instead.
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar are good alternatives to honey.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting for a spicy kick.
  • Use herbs like rosemary, oregano, or sage if fresh thyme is unavailable.
  • For nut allergies, omit nuts or replace with seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • To turn this into a full meal, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • An air fryer can be used by cooking the rounds at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
