How to make Honey-Kissed Sweet Potato Rounds with Feta

Step 1: Prepare the oven and sweet potatoes

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Chef’s Tip: Ensure the sweet potato rounds are uniformly sliced for even cooking.

Step 2: Roast the sweet potatoes

Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake until tender

Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.

Chef’s Tip: Flipping the sweet potato rounds ensures even browning on both sides.

Step 4: Finish and serve

Remove from oven and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with feta cheese and drizzle with honey. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy these Honey-Kissed Sweet Potato Rounds with Feta!

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Roasting in batches ensures proper caramelization.
• Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor.
• Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness.
• For extra crispy edges, broil the sweet potato rounds for the last minute or two of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
