Notes

To achieve perfectly roasted sweet potato rounds, ensure they are sliced uniformly for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; spread them out to promote caramelization. If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the rounds for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning. Using high-quality feta cheese significantly enhances the flavor profile, so opt for a brand you trust. Experiment with different types of honey – wildflower or clover honey can add unique nuances. Lastly, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick, perfectly complementing the sweetness of the potatoes and the savory feta. Fresh herbs will elevate the dish, so don't be afraid to use them!
