Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pure honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel your sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes or rounds about 1-inch thick, ensuring they cook evenly and develop a nice crispy edge.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Toss everything together to coat every piece well.
  3. Roast Until Crispy: Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for roughly 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
  4. Add Gruyère Cheese: Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle shredded Gruyère evenly on top of the hot sweet potatoes. Return to the oven for about 5 more minutes to melt and lightly brown the cheese.
  5. Drizzle with Honey and Serve: Once out of the oven, immediately drizzle a generous amount of honey over the bites. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sizes for consistent cooking and perfect crispness.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F/220°C) to achieve crispy edges without drying out the potatoes.
  • Use freshly grated Gruyère cheese for smoother melting and richer flavor.
  • Add honey after baking to prevent burning and preserve natural sweetness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; leave space between pieces to help crisping.
