Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes or rounds
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or thin slices)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (light floral such as clover or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized bite-sized cubes or rounds to ensure uniform cooking and maintain shape during roasting.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: Place the sweet potato pieces in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add sea salt, black pepper, and herbs if using. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Roast Until Tender and Crisp: Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
  4. Add Gruyère Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded or thin slices of Gruyère over the hot potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts luxuriously.
  5. Drizzle with Honey and Serve: Transfer the bites to a serving platter and drizzle with fresh honey just before serving to preserve its aroma and texture, enhancing the sweet and savory contrast.

Notes

  • Cut the sweet potatoes uniformly for even cooking and to avoid undercooked centers.
  • Use authentic, well-aged Gruyère cheese for best flavor and melting quality.
  • Roasting on a wire rack over the baking sheet can create extra crispiness.
  • Add fresh herbs after roasting to prevent burning and to brighten the flavors.
  • Drizzle honey immediately before serving to maintain its fresh aroma and texture.
