❓ Q & A

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes! Roast the sweet potatoes ahead and reheat in the oven. Add feta and honey just before serving.

Q: Can I use goat cheese instead of feta?
A: Absolutely. Goat cheese gives a creamier, tangier flavor.

Q: How do I make it crispier?
A: Make sure the slices aren’t overcrowded and roast on the top rack. You can also broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A: Yes, skip the feta or use a dairy-free feta alternative.

Q: What pairs well with this dish?
A: Grilled chicken, roasted turkey, lamb, or a fresh Mediterranean salad pair beautifully.
