Introduction

These roasted sweet potato rounds with honey and feta combine sweet, savory, and spicy flavors for a deliciously satisfying side dish or snack. Crispy on the edges and tender inside, they’re perfect for any occasion and easy to prepare.

A white plate on a white marbled surface holds several thick slices of roasted sweet potatoes with a caramelized, shiny orange surface and dark grill marks, arranged in a slightly overlapping pile. Small crumbles of white cheese are scattered over the sweet potatoes, along with tiny bright green herb leaves, likely parsley or cilantro. The contrast of the warm orange color with the white cheese and green herbs creates a vibrant and fresh look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes (washed and sliced into rounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for coating)
1 tablespoon honey (regular or hot)
Additional honey (for serving)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for serving)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (for topping)
Fresh chives or parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2: Wash the sweet potatoes well and pat dry. Slice them into ⅓-inch thick rounds.
Step 3: Drizzle olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Add the sweet potato rounds and toss to coat evenly with the oil.
Step 4: Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Drizzle with the tablespoon of honey, then toss again to coat all the slices in the seasoning and honey.
Step 5: Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 6: Flip the sweet potatoes over carefully and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until they are golden and crispy around the edges.
Step 7: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter and season with a little extra kosher salt.
Step 8: Drizzle a bit more honey over the top, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and finish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
Step 9: Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

For a touch of heat, use hot honey or add extra red pepper flakes.
Substitute goat cheese for feta if preferred.
Make sure the sweet potato slices are evenly coated for the best caramelization.
Try garnishing with toasted pine nuts or walnuts for added crunch.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or in a toaster oven to crisp them back up. Avoid microwaving as it can make the potatoes soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare the sweet potato rounds ahead of time?

You can slice and season the sweet potatoes a few hours ahead, then refrigerate them until ready to roast. However, for best texture and flavor, roast them fresh.
