Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Use high quality for better flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons honey Use good quality honey.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Choose a decent brand for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Freshly squeezed is preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Toss well to coat.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
  2. While roasting, mix honey, crumbled feta, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving platter.
  4. Drizzle the honey-feta mixture evenly over the sweet potato rounds.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting. For crispy edges, broil for a minute at the end; watch closely to prevent burning.
