Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, firm and unblemished

- 1/4 cup honey, pure and raw
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, creamy and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel your sweet potatoes.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds about half an inch thick and place them in a large bowl.
- Drizzle about three tablespoons of olive oil over the sweet potato rounds.
- Sprinkle in some freshly cracked black pepper and toss everything together until each round is lightly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer.
- Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes.
- Flip the sweet potato rounds halfway through roasting to ensure both sides get golden-brown color.
- Once roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle honey over each round while they are still warm.
- Crumble feta cheese generously on top and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover roasted sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain texture, keep the honey and feta separate until ready to serve.
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 until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but this may result in a softer texture.
Serving: Serve the roasted sweet potato rounds warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish. For an added touch, garnish with extra thyme leaves and a drizzle of honey just before serving to enhance their flavor.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, experiment with different herbs or toppings, such as a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the honey.
