Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Seasonings & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: 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: Peel the sweet potatoes if you prefer, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds to ensure even roasting.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for uniform cooking.
- Season: Drizzle the slices with olive oil and season evenly with salt, ground black pepper, and optional cinnamon for a subtle warm flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to achieve golden edges and tender centers.
- Add Honey: Once roasted, transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving platter and drizzle generously with honey for a delicious sweetness contrast.
- Top with Feta and Parsley: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top to add creamy texture and a fresh herby note.
- Serve Warm: Serve these sweet potato rounds immediately while warm to enjoy the best flavors and textures.
Notes
- Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional; if you prefer to keep the skin, make sure to scrub them well to remove any dirt.
- For a deeper, earthy sweetness, substitute honey with pure maple syrup.
