Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Choose firm sweet potatoes with smooth skins.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Substitute avocado oil for higher smoke point.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Reduce the amount if feta is very salty.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Regular paprika or ground cumin can be used instead.
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese Use vegan feta for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/4 cup honey Maple syrup or agave can be used for a vegan swap.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Or cilantro, as desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds, leaving the skin on for texture and nutrients.
  3. Put the rounds in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and add salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until every slice is lightly coated.
  4. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with space between slices to allow air circulation.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the centers are tender and the edges are golden and caramelized.
  2. Remove from oven and let the rounds rest for a few minutes to ensure the feta doesn’t melt completely.
  3. Transfer the rounds to a serving platter, sprinkle crumbled feta over the warm slices, and drizzle honey evenly on top. Finish by scattering chopped parsley.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Avoid microwaving for reheating as it makes them soft; for best crispiness, reheat in the oven. These rounds can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Add feta and honey after reheating for best texture and flavor.
