Print Recipe

These sweet potato rounds are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, topped with creamy feta and crunchy walnuts. Perfect for any gathering, they are both visually appealing and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the sweet potatoes roast evenly and develop a beautiful caramelization.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds for uniform cooking. Aim for consistency to avoid uneven cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Ensure each round is well-coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and allows for even roasting.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when they are golden brown on the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, chop 1/2 cup of walnuts and crumble 1 cup of feta cheese. Set these aside for garnishing your rounds.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This will help them firm up slightly.
  8. Drizzle 1/4 cup of honey over the sweet potato rounds while they are still warm, allowing the honey to soak into the sweet potatoes.
  9. Top each round with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
  10. If desired, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze for a tangy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of flavors!
