Description

How to make vibrant roasted sweet potato rounds with sticky honey and crumbled feta cheese that are ready in under 30 minutes for a perfect side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • The Foundation of Flavor:
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), scrubbed clean
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons local honey
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (full-fat for best flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Flavor Enhancers:
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a subtle kick)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prep Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet. Slice scrubbed sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. This ensures even cooking for your delicious Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta, preventing any burnt disasters.
  2. Whisk Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. This creates the sticky, flavorful coating that will caramelize beautifully on your sweet potatoes.
  3. Toss Rounds: Add the sliced sweet potato rounds to the bowl with the honey-spice mixture. Toss well until every round is evenly coated, ensuring no round is left behind. This guarantees maximum flavor in every bite.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the coated sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized. This makes perfect vibrant Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds.
  5. Add Feta & Herbs: Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle the warm sweet potato rounds with crumbled feta, fresh rosemary, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The feta will slightly soften, adding a creamy, savory texture to the dish.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Transfer the Irresistible Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and toasted pecans for added crunch and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful side!

Notes

Don’t over-roast past 25 minutes; check for tenderness. Arrange rounds in a single layer to ensure roasting, not steaming.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer.

For a vegan option, swap honey for maple syrup and feta for a plant-based alternative. Goat cheese also works.

Serve warm, directly from the oven for the best experience. Excellent with roasted chicken, a fresh salad, or brunch.

Prep sweet potato rounds and sauce mixture up to a day ahead. Store separately and roast just before serving.
