Equipment
- Sharp knife or mandoline

- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Oven
- Spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp honey (or hot honey)
- Optional: fresh thyme, chili flakes, balsamic glaze, chopped nuts, pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss sweet potato rounds in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
- Remove from oven and immediately top with crumbled feta.
- Drizzle with honey (or hot honey) and garnish with optional toppings like herbs, chili flakes, or pomegranate seeds.
- Serve warm or at room temperature on a platter or stacked for presentation.
Notes
- Uniform slices ensure even roasting—use a mandoline for precision.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if needed for crispier results.
- Add toppings after roasting to preserve texture and flavor.
- Make it vegan by using dairy-free feta and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make ahead by roasting the rounds in advance and reheating before serving.
