👩‍🍳 How to Make Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Season the Sweet Potatoes

Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 3: Roast Until Crispy

Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 4: Add Feta and Honey

Remove from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta over the warm sweet potatoes. Drizzle lightly with honey.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh parsley or thyme and serve immediately.

🔥 Tips for Perfect Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • Slice evenly to ensure uniform cooking.

  • Flip halfway through roasting for golden edges.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy-sweet kick.
  • For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.

🍽️ Delicious Variations
