Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Seasoning & 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes carefully and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds for even roasting and optimal texture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even cooking and browning.
- Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the rounds, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon if desired for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to achieve golden, tender slices with slight caramelization.
- Add Honey: Once roasted, transfer the rounds to a serving platter and drizzle the honey evenly over them while still warm to enhance sweetness and flavor.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for a creamy, tangy contrast and a fresh herbal note.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato rounds immediately while warm for the best texture and taste experience.
Notes
- You can skip the cinnamon if you prefer a more straightforward savory flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese or omit it.
- Make sure the sweet potato rounds are sliced evenly for uniform roasting.
- These rounds are great served as a side dish or a healthy snack.
