Ingredients
  

  • 2 large, evenly-shaped sweet potatoes about 1.5 - 2 lbs total
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 oz block of feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For stability, you can cut a thin slice off one side of each potato to create a flat base.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each round. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until tender and lightly browned at the edges.
  6. While the potatoes roast, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, gently combine the crumbled feta, 2 tablespoons of honey, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Once the sweet potato rounds are out of the oven, immediately top each round with a spoonful of the honey feta mixture.
  8. Drizzle with a little extra honey and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

For even cooking, ensure sweet potato rounds are uniformly sliced and not crowded on the baking sheet. Flipping halfway is essential for perfect caramelization. For a more golden topping, place the assembled tray under a broiler for 60-90 seconds, watching closely. Best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven. For a variation, try using goat cheese or add a sprinkle of toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans.
