Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (goat cheese can be substituted)
2 tablespoons honey (maple syrup can be used)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them into uniform ½-inch thick rounds.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to prevent steaming. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4: Carefully flip each sweet potato round and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender, golden brown, and caramelized at the edges. Remove from the oven.
Step 5: Transfer the warm sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over all the rounds. Drizzle with honey and scatter chopped fresh parsley on top.
Step 6: Serve immediately. For extra flair, you can garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes or toasted chopped pecans.

Tips & Variations

Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture and slightly tangier flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with pure maple syrup and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
Adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving gives a nice subtle heat.
Make sure slices are uniform in thickness to ensure even roasting.

Storage

Store leftover roasted sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to maintain crisp edges. Toppings like feta and honey are best added fresh before serving.

How to Serve

The dish shows several round slices of roasted orange squash arranged closely on a white plate. Each slice has a slightly charred, caramelized surface with a glossy texture from the oil or glaze. Scattered on top are small bits of crumbly white cheese and fresh green herb leaves, adding contrast to the warm orange base. The white marbled texture background highlights the colors of the food, and the lighting brings out the shine and details of the squash slices. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

You can roast the sweet potato rounds and store them separately in the fridge, but it’s best to add the feta and honey just before serving to keep the textures fresh.

Can I use regular paprika instead of smoked paprika?

Yes, regular paprika works well if you prefer a milder flavor without the smoky undertone.
