Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Honey Feta Topping
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into rounds about ¼ to ½ inch thick, preparing them evenly for roasting.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange for Roasting: Lay the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting; use multiple sheets if needed.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Flip the rounds carefully, then continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender inside with golden brown, slightly crispy edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Prepare Honey Feta Topping: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, crumble the feta cheese into a medium bowl. Pour honey over the feta and gently mix with a fork to combine while maintaining some texture.
- Assemble and Serve: Arrange the warm roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. Top each round with a generous spoonful of the honey feta mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper with the smoked paprika.
- Use raw honey for a more floral sweetness in the topping.
- These can be served as a warm appetizer or chilled for a refreshing snack.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure the seasoning and feta cheese do not contain additives with gluten.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
