Instructions
Prep Sweet Potatoes: Peel sweet potatoes and slice into ½-inch rounds.
Season: Toss rounds in olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roast: Arrange rounds in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned.
Cool Slightly: Let rounds rest for a few minutes after roasting.
Add Toppings: Top each round with crumbled feta, drizzle with honey, and add optional thyme and nuts.
Optional Glaze: Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
Serve: Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
Notes
Use goat cheese, ricotta, or Parmesan instead of feta.
Replace honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweetness.
Add red pepper flakes for heat or rosemary for a woodsy note.
Try with purple or white sweet potatoes for color variation.
Make it a meal by topping with grilled chicken, chickpeas, or a fried egg.
Air fryer option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once.
