Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
  2. Clean and cut sweet potatoes to ½-inch-thick rounds, (skin on).
  3. To sliced sweet potatos add melted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, paprika, salt and pepper. Using a spatula or both hands, mix everything well together.
  4. Arrange sweet potato slices on a baking tray in a single layer leaving a little space in between. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes. Potatoes should be firm but tender (not too soft).
  5. Meanwhile, mix the maple syrup, chopped pecans, thyme and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl.
  6. Remove the baking tray. Top each sweet potato slice with about 1 teaspoon of the maple syrup mixture.
  7. Return tray to oven on top shelf and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes look caramelized around the edges.
  8. Serve with some feta garnished on top.
  9. Enjoy!
