Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (omit if preferred)
1 cup feta cheese (goat cheese can be substituted)
2 tablespoons honey (maple syrup can be used)
2 tablespoons parsley (freshly chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika; toss well to coat evenly.
Step 4: Spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the sweet potato rounds cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 7: Transfer the rounds to a serving platter and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm slices.
Step 8: Drizzle honey over the feta-topped sweet potato rounds and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting and pat dry thoroughly.
Swap feta for goat cheese or ricotta salata for a different flavor profile.
Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve
