How to Make Roasted Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds
Step 1: Prep the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then slice them into even ½-inch rounds to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2: Season
Place the rounds in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and dried oregano or thyme. Make sure every slice is well coated.
Step 3: Roast
Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re fork-tender with lightly crisped edges.
Step 4: Add Feta
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the warm sweet potatoes with crumbled feta cheese. The heat will slightly soften the cheese without fully melting it.
Step 5: Finish with Honey and Herbs
Drizzle honey evenly over the rounds and finish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips & Variations
- Make it milder: Skip the red pepper flakes for a kid-friendly version
- Extra crunch: Add chopped walnuts or pecans before serving
- Cheese swap: Goat cheese or ricotta salata work beautifully
- Herb twist: Try basil or chives instead of parsley
- Meal prep tip: Roast the sweet potatoes ahead and add toppings just before serving
Serving Ideas & Storage
These roasted honey feta sweet potato rounds are delicious served warm as an appetizer, paired with grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, or even added to a grain bowl. For leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.
