Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 large Sweet Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Extra virgin recommended)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (Omit if preferred)
• 1 cup Feta Cheese (Goat cheese can be substituted)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup can be used)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (Freshly chopped)

How to Make (Step-by-Step)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds so they roast evenly and get a little crisp around the edges.
Toss in olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then arrange in a single layer without crowding.

Step 2

Roast the rounds for about 20 minutes, flip them, and roast another 10 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Watch the edges; sweet potato sugars can go from golden to burnt faster than you expect.
If you want extra crisp, broil for 1–2 minutes but don’t walk away; I once left the kitchen and learned a crunchy lesson.

Step 3

Plate the rounds, crumble feta over them, then drizzle honey and sprinkle parsley.
Serve warm so the contrast between hot sweet potato and cool feta sings in your mouth.
Stand back and accept compliments gracefully.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Cut evenly so every round cooks at the same rate.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan — give air for crisping.
• Use extra virgin olive oil for better flavor.
• Room temp feta blends better with hot rounds.
• Swap smoked paprika for cumin or chili for a twist.
• Maple works if you prefer less floral sweetness than honey.
• Prep ahead: slice potatoes and store in water to prevent browning.
• Go easy on salt if your feta runs salty.

Fun Variations & Topping Ideas

Variations:

Layer them on flatbreads with hummus and arugula for an easy lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can slice potatoes a few hours ahead and keep them in cold water.
Finish roasting and topping right before serving for best texture.
You can also roast fully and reheat but expect slightly softer rounds.

Can I use frozen sweet potato slices?

Frozen slices work but require careful thawing and patting dry to avoid sogginess.
You may need a bit longer in the oven to achieve crispness.
IMO fresh gives the best caramelization.

What can I substitute for feta?

Use goat cheese for a creamier but still tangy profile.
Feta alternatives include ricotta salata or crumbled halloumi if you like chew.
Watch salt levels and adjust seasoning accordingly.

Is this gluten-free?

Yes, the basic recipe contains no gluten so it works for gluten-free diets.
Just check any additional toppings or store-bought sauces for hidden gluten.
