Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1⁄4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Brush both sides of the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown.
5. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, honey, chopped parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and toasted pecans. Mix well to combine.
6. Once the sweet potato rounds are baked, remove them from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
7. Top each sweet potato round with a generous spoonful of the feta crumble mixture.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Notes
Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamins A and C.
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the feta mixture.
You can substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
This dish can be made ahead and served at room temperature, making it ideal for parties.
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a crunchy texture.
