Ingredients
  

Sweet Potatoes
  • 2-3 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes scrubbed, peeled if desired
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
Toppings
  • 4 oz block feta cheese crumbled
  • 2-3 tbsp honey wildflower or hot honey preferred
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform rounds, about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick.
  3. Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until every slice is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip each round with a spatula.
  6. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the edges are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
  7. Transfer the hot sweet potato rounds to a serving platter.
  8. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta over the hot potatoes. Drizzle generously with honey and scatter the fresh thyme leaves over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not crowd the baking sheet, or the sweet potatoes will steam instead of roast. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
