Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Use large, firm sweet potatoes for the best results.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Choose high-quality extra virgin olive oil for enhanced flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the sweetness of the potatoes.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Adds seasoning.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Optional, adds warmth.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Use pure honey for a natural sweetness.
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese Choose a crumbly feta for the best texture.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help the sweet potatoes caramelize.
  2. Slice 2 large sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds, aiming for uniform sizes.
  3. Place the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon if using. Toss to coat well.
Cooking
  1. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. Once done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  3. Finish by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
  4. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best flavor. Consider pairing with grilled meats or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
