Toppings

• 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup can be used)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (Freshly chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to aid in easy cleanup.
2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then slice them evenly into ½-inch thick rounds for uniform cooking.
3. Season sweet potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to ensure every piece is well coated with flavorful seasoning.
4. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overlap to help them crisp evenly.
5. Roast the rounds: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through cooking to achieve a golden brown and crispy texture on both sides.
6. Cool slightly: Remove the roasted sweet potato rounds from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes to retain their structure and temperature for topping.
7. Plate and top: Transfer the warm sweet potato rounds to a serving platter, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over them.

• Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor, but you can omit or substitute with regular paprika if preferred.
• Make sure to slice sweet potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and texture.
• Honey drizzle can be adjusted to taste or substituted with agave syrup for different sweetness profiles.
• These rounds are best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature as well.
