Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into slices 1/2 inch thick
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 lb. feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh thyme
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- <b>Season the sweet potatoes</b>
- Preheat an oven to 400&#186;F.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer.
- <b>Bake the sweet potatoes</b>
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle evenly with the cheese, pine nuts, and thyme, and continue to bake, uncovered, until the cheese is golden and the sweet potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, drizzle evenly with the lemon juice and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
