Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
4 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (optional)
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for garnish)
Optional Flavor Twists:
Zest of 1 lemon or orange (sprinkle over feta for brightness)
1–2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes (for gentle heat)
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses in place of or in addition to balsamic for a tangy-sweet glaze
Swap feta for whipped goat cheese for a creamy, tangier profile
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Arrange sweet potato rounds in a single layer. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden.
Remove from oven and immediately top each round with crumbled feta. Let the cheese soften slightly from the heat.
Drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze. Add chopped herbs, nuts, and any optional toppings.
Finish with a touch of citrus zest or a sprinkle of pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
