Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 3.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1.0 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until each round is well coated.
  • Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the rounds, then add the crumbled feta cheese on top.
  • Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, thyme leaves, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired for a bit of heat. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
