- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice sweet potatoes into even ½-inch thick rounds for consistent cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
