  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For perfectly caramelized sweet potato rounds, ensure they are sliced evenly to promote even cooking. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; work in batches if necessary to allow the sweet potatoes to roast properly. Experiment with different types of feta cheese for varying levels of tanginess and flavor. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat if you desire. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but use sparingly; about 1/2 teaspoon should suffice. Watch the sweet potatoes carefully towards the end of baking to prevent them from burning. The goal is a slightly crispy edge with a tender interior. Use high-quality honey for a more pronounced flavor. If your honey is crystallized, gently warm it in the microwave or a saucepan until it becomes liquid again. Get creative with toppings— a sprinkle of toasted walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch!
