Step 4: Spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rounds are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 8: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the warm rounds.
Step 9: Drizzle honey evenly over the feta-topped sweet potato rounds.

Tips & Variations

For a smoky depth without paprika, try a pinch of cumin or chili powder instead.
Substitute goat cheese for feta if you prefer a creamier texture and tangier flavor.
Use maple syrup in place of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
Make sure the rounds are evenly sliced for uniform cooking.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven to help maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the rounds soggy.

How to Serve

Each sweet potato slice has a slightly browned, caramelized surface with a soft, textured inside. On top of each slice, there are small dollops of white, crumbly goat cheese scattered unevenly. Tiny bits of green herbs are sprinkled over the cheese and the sweet potatoes, adding contrast. A light drizzle of golden olive oil glistens on and around the slices, creating a shiny appearance.

FAQs

Can I prepare the sweet potato rounds ahead of time?

You can slice and season the sweet potato rounds a few hours before roasting. Store them covered in the refrigerator and roast just before serving for best texture.

What if I don’t have smoked paprika?

If you don’t have smoked paprika, you can omit it or substitute with regular paprika, cumin, or a pinch of chili powder to add some warmth and flavor.
