Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (about 700 g), cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons hot honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons toasted pistachios or pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each piece.
Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until deeply caramelized with crispy edges and tender centers.
Transfer the hot wedges to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the wedges while they are still warm.
Drizzle generously with hot honey.
Top with toasted pistachios or pumpkin seeds, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Cut the wedges into similar sizes for even roasting.
Do not overcrowd the baking tray or the wedges will steam instead of crisp.
Roast at high heat for maximum caramelization.
Add the feta immediately after roasting so it softens slightly without melting completely.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot oven or air fryer before adding fresh toppings.
