Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into rounds about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated.
3. Step 3: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding; use multiple sheets if needed.
4. Step 4: Roast for 20-25 minutes, then flip the rounds and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until tender and golden brown with slightly crispy edges. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
5. Step 5: While the sweet potatoes roast, crumble the feta cheese into a medium bowl. Pour the honey over the feta and gently mix with a fork until combined, keeping some texture in the mixture.
6. Step 6: Arrange the warm roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. Spoon a generous dollop of the honey feta mixture onto the center of each round. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped toasted walnuts or pecans on top before serving.
• Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweet note.
• Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a subtle spicy kick.
• If you prefer softer sweet potatoes, roast a little longer until completely tender.

Storage

Store any leftover roasted sweet potato rounds and honey feta topping separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the sweet potatoes in a warm oven to restore crispiness before topping with the honey feta mixture again.

Honey Feta Topping

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

Instructions

1. Prep Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your 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 for roasting.
2. Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
3. Arrange for Roasting: Lay the seasoned sweet potato rounds out in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding the slices; use multiple baking sheets if needed to ensure even roasting.

• Use fresh parsley for the best flavor; you can substitute with cilantro or chives if desired.
• For a nuttier flavor, drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the assembled rounds before serving.
• This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it great for entertaining.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but are best eaten fresh.
