Description
A cozy, sweet-and-savory side dish made with caramelized roasted sweet potato rounds, topped with creamy feta cheese and drizzled with honey. Perfect for both casual dinners and festive gatherings.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into ½‑inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons honey
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or another fresh herb of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey while still warm.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh thyme leaves before serving. Serve warm.
Notes
Swap feta with goat cheese or blue cheese for different flavor profiles.
Use rosemary or sage instead of thyme for a variation in herbs.
Add toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Can be served over arugula with balsamic for a salad version.
To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 10 minutes for best texture.
