# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet and salty dance between honey and feta is absolutely addictive
  • These elegant bites come together faster than you can set out wine glasses
  • Guiltless indulgence since you are eating vegetables as the base
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of roast
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool for a few minutes so the feta does not melt completely
  • The herb drizzle can sit at room temperature for up to an hour before serving
03 -
  • Use a mandoline for perfectly even slices if you have one
  • Warm your honey slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds if it has crystallized
  • Goat cheese makes an excellent substitute if you are not a feta fan
