These Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds are a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, making them an ideal appetizer or side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, making sure the slices are uniform in thickness for even roasting.
  3. Toss and season: Toss the sweet potato rounds in olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to ensure crisp edges.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes. Flip the rounds halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crispy edges.
  5. Drizzle and top: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, gently warm the honey so it drizzles easily. Once the rounds are out of the oven, immediately drizzle the warm honey over them. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor and a hint of heat.
  6. Serve: Arrange the sweet potato rounds beautifully on a serving platter and serve warm to best enjoy the contrast of crispy sweet potatoes with creamy feta and honey sweetness.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the sweet potato rounds for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Substitute goat cheese or blue cheese for feta if preferred for a different flavor profile.
  • Use pure maple syrup as an alternative to honey for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep and can be served as a snack, side dish, or even a light meal.
