Notes
Storage: Store any leftover roasted sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their flavor and texture, it is best to separate them from the honey and feta before storing.
Reheating: To reheat, place the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
Serving: Serve the roasted sweet potato rounds warm, drizzled with honey and topped with crumbled feta cheese. For added freshness, garnish with chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the sweet potatoes before roasting, which will complement the sweetness of the honey and the creaminess of the feta.
