Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Extra virgin recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (Omit if preferred)
Toppings
- 1 cup Feta Cheese (Goat cheese can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup can be used)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (Freshly chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even roasting.
- Season sweet potato rounds: In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika; toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for proper roasting.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool slightly: Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes to allow the texture to set and handle safely.
- Assemble and serve: Transfer the roasted rounds to a serving platter, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the warm rounds, drizzle honey on top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use goat cheese as a substitute for feta for a milder flavor.
- Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan-friendly option.
- Omit smoked paprika if you prefer a more neutral flavor.
- Ensure sweet potato rounds are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
- For crispier rounds, make sure to flip them halfway through roasting.
