Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary optional
- Crushed walnuts or pecans for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes:
- Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds. Keep the skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
- Season and bake:
- Arrange the rounds on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly golden on the edges.
- Add toppings:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Top each round with crumbled feta cheese and a light drizzle of honey.
- Garnish and serve:
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme or chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, brush the sweet potato rounds lightly with olive oil before baking.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta if you prefer a creamier texture.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes for a sweet-spicy flavor contrast.
- These are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for 5–7 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Perfect for holiday platters, brunch menus, or healthy snacks.
