Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for seasoning after roasting
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes
  • Fresh parsley or microgreens, for garnish
  • Lemon zest, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Scrub sweet potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch rounds, keeping thickness consistent.
  3. Place rounds in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
  4. Arrange rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch. Use two sheets if needed.
  5. Roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes. Flip each round with a spatula or tongs.
  6. Return to oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden and crisp and centers are tender.
  7. Transfer rounds to a serving platter while warm. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, drizzle with honey, and scatter thyme leaves. Add chili flakes if desired.
  8. Garnish with lemon zest, parsley, or microgreens. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best crispness, slice sweet potatoes evenly and avoid overcrowding the pan. You can prep and season slices ahead, then roast just before serving. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispness. Substitute maple syrup or agave for honey, and vegan feta for a dairy-free option. Garnish with seasonal herbs or nuts for variety.
