Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds for even roasting and tender texture.
  3. Arrange slices: Lay the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly without overlapping.
  4. Season the rounds: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the sweet potato slices, then sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, and optional ground cinnamon to add depth of flavor.
  5. Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sweet potato rounds halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and tender.
  6. Add toppings: Once roasted, transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Drizzle them with honey for a touch of sweetness.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top to add creamy, salty elements and fresh herbaceous notes.
  8. Serve warm: Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and flavors.

Notes

  • For softer texture, roast a few minutes longer, but be careful not to burn.
  • The cinnamon is optional but adds a subtle warmth that complements the sweetness.
  • You can substitute feta with goat cheese or omit for a dairy-free version.
  • Use fresh parsley for the best flavor; cilantro can be an alternative.
  • This dish can be served as a side or a light snack.
