Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lb), scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and scrub sweet potatoes, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping slices as even as possible.
  3. Place sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika (if using), and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange rounds in a single layer, ensuring none overlap.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip each round. Roast for another 10-15 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft (total roasting time: 25-30 minutes).
  6. Remove tray from oven and immediately drizzle honey over the hot rounds.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley or chives on top.
  8. Transfer rounds to a serving platter and serve hot for best texture. (To hold, keep tray in a 200°F oven for up to 20 minutes.)

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat sweet potato slices dry before tossing with oil. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for best results. You can substitute maple syrup or agave for honey, and goat cheese or vegan cheese for feta. Recipe is naturally gluten-free and easily adapted for dairy-free or vegan diets. Watch closely in the last few minutes of roasting to prevent burning.
