How to make perfectly roasted sweet potato rounds with sweet honey and tangy feta that are ready in 30 minutes and your family will adore.
Ingredients
Scale
- Main Components:
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2.5 lbs), peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup honey, plus more for drizzling
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Essential Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Finishing Touches:
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- ¼ cup toasted pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking. Peel and slice your sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds, aiming for even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Season Rounds: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Ensure each round is coated well. This forms the flavorful base for your Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds.
- Arrange & Roast: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this helps them caramelize beautifully. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip them over to ensure even browning.
- Continue Roasting: Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and have a lovely golden-brown char. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. This makes them perfectly soft.
- Add Honey & Feta: Remove the sheet from the oven. Drizzle these delicious Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta generously with honey and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over them. Add fresh rosemary and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Garnish & Serve: For a final touch, garnish your Irresistible Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or toasted pecans, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure sweet potatoes are sliced evenly and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet for perfect caramelization and even cooking.
Store leftover rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
For a vegan version, swap honey for maple syrup and use a plant-based feta alternative.
Serve warm, straight from the oven, for best flavor and texture; pairs perfectly with roasted chicken or pork.
