• Omit smoked paprika if you prefer a milder flavor or substitute with cinnamon for a sweeter twist.
• Try goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier topping.
• Use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to honey.

FAQs

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

Yes, regular potatoes can be used, but sweet potatoes provide a natural sweetness that pairs especially well with honey and feta. Adjust roasting times as needed.

What if I don’t have a mandoline slicer?

You can slice the sweet potatoes by hand using a sharp knife. Just try to keep the slices evenly thick (about ½-inch) for even cooking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Sweet Potato Rounds

• 2 large Sweet Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin recommended)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional)

For the Toppings

• 1 cup Feta Cheese (goat cheese can be substituted)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (maple syrup can be used)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
3. Season the Rounds: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated, enhancing their flavor and crispiness.
4. Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow for proper roasting and browning.
5. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on both sides.
6. Cool Slightly: Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes to set their texture before adding the toppings.
7. Assemble the Rounds: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the warm rounds so it slightly softens with the heat.
8. Add Honey and Garnish: Drizzle honey evenly over the feta-topped rounds to add a natural sweetness that balances the savoriness. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, herbaceous note.

Notes

• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best texture, reheat in the oven rather than the microwave.
• Smoked paprika is optional but adds a nice smoky depth to the sweet potato flavor.
• Maple syrup can be substituted for honey to keep the dish vegan-friendly if goat cheese is used instead of feta.
• Use a mandoline slicer for uniform rounds which helps in even roasting and texture.
• Adjust salt according to the saltiness of your feta cheese.
