Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Toppings

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and a nice balance between crispy edges and tender centers.
  3. Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them to allow proper roasting.
  5. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are tender inside and golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes so they hold their shape when handling.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top, drizzle with honey, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.
  8. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful appetizer, side dish, or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika if unavailable, though the smoky flavor adds depth.
  • For a vegan version, replace feta cheese with vegan feta or omit it entirely.
  • Honey can be swapped with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are cut uniformly for even roasting.
  • Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and garnish appearance.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated or served cold.
