# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The contrast between warm roasted sweet potatoes and cool creamy feta hits every perfect note at once
- These look impressive but come together in under 45 minutes with almost zero stress
02 -
- The sweet potato rounds continue cooking slightly after they come out of the oven so do not wait until they are completely soft
- Let the potatoes cool for just a few minutes before topping or the feta will melt into a puddle
03 -
- Use a mandoline if you have one for perfectly even rounds that cook at the same rate
- Warm your honey slightly for 10 seconds if it has crystallized and will not drizzle smoothly
