Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper to evenly coat each piece for roasting.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to allow proper roasting.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through cooking until they are golden and crispy on both sides.
- Add Honey and Toppings: Once roasted, drizzle warm honey evenly over the sweet potato rounds. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor and a touch of spiciness.
- Serve Immediately: Serve these sweet potato rounds warm for the best flavor and texture as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Make sure the sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even roasting.
- Use fresh thyme leaves for the best flavor, but dried thyme can be substituted if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of honey and red pepper flakes according to your preferred sweetness and spice levels.
- These rounds are best served immediately, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
