# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes creates the perfect canvas for salty feta and floral honey
  • Guests always pause and ask what makes these so different from regular crostini
02 -
  • Slice your sweet potatoes as evenly as possible so they all finish cooking at the same time
  • Let the roasted rounds cool for at least 5 minutes or the feta will melt too quickly
03 -
  • Use a mandoline if you have one for perfectly uniform slices
  • Let your feta come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving
