Simple Ingredients

This recipe uses mostly pantry staples and fresh seasonal produce. The walnuts add the perfect crunch to every bite.

• 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup toasted crushed walnuts
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Step-by-Step

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once at the 12-minute mark, until tender and lightly browned.
4. While potatoes roast, combine the Greek yogurt and crumbled feta in a food processor or blender; process until the mixture is smooth and whipped.
5. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes to prevent the topping from melting immediately.
6. Top each round with approximately 1 tablespoon of the whipped feta mixture.
7. Drizzle the assembled rounds with honey and garnish with crushed walnuts and fresh thyme before serving.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these while they are still slightly warm. The contrast between the warm potato and cool feta is insane. They are the star of any fall gathering.

Pair them with a crisp green salad. They also work great alongside grilled chicken. You can even enjoy them as a fancy snack during a cozy night in.

Keep It Fresh

Store the roasted rounds and the whipped feta separately. This keeps the potatoes from getting soggy. They will stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat the rounds in the oven for best results. Add the cold topping right before you eat!

Pro Tips

• Pat your sweet potato slices dry before oiling.
• Slice the rounds into even thicknesses for uniform cooking.

• Drizzle the honey right before serving for the best look.

Easy Flavor Ideas

• Add a pinch of chili flakes for some heat.

• Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the feta mixture.
