Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into ½ inch rounds
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (freshly grated recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw honey preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash your sweet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into evenly sized rounds about half an inch thick to ensure even cooking and easy handling.
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato slices in olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer with space between slices. Roast for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
  3. Add the Gruyère Cheese: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and sprinkle generous amounts of shredded Gruyère cheese on each slice. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese melts beautifully and forms a creamy crust.
  4. Drizzle with Honey and Garnish: Once out of the oven, drizzle each bite lightly with honey, and add fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a fragrant finish. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Choose medium-sized sweet potatoes for even roasting.
  • Grate your own Gruyère cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Use raw honey for the purest, most natural sweetness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow crispier edges.
  • Serve warm for optimal texture and flavor.
