Description
These Crispy Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta are caramelized to perfection, then topped with creamy feta, a drizzle of honey, and fresh herbs for the ultimate sweet-savory appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or chopped parsley)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice sweet potatoes into even 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure uniform cooking.
3. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
5. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip each round and roast an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
6. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle lightly with honey.
7. Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the warm sweet potatoes.
8. Garnish with fresh thyme, rosemary, and optional red pepper flakes.
9. Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or holiday party snack.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan and use convection setting if available.
Add feta after roasting to prevent excessive browning.
For a spicy kick, increase red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot honey instead.
These can be pre-roasted and reheated at 375°F for 8–10 minutes before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
