Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Sweet potatoes (medium-sized)
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder or smoked paprika (optional)
Crumbled feta cheese
Honey
Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

Directions

I preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I scrub the sweet potatoes and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds.
I toss the slices in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
I arrange the rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
I remove them from the oven and immediately top each round with crumbled feta.
I drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with fresh herbs or nuts, if using.
I serve warm or at room temperature.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings as a side dish or 8–10 appetizer bites. It takes 10 minutes to prep and about 25 minutes to roast, so I can have it ready in around 35 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or pomegranate molasses for extra depth.
For a spicy-sweet version, I sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes over the top.
I’ve used goat cheese or blue cheese instead of feta for a different twist.
To make it vegan, I use plant-based feta and maple syrup instead of honey.
I occasionally layer these on a platter with arugula and toasted seeds for a more complete salad-style dish.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. I avoid microwaving to keep the texture from getting soggy. I usually add fresh feta or a new drizzle of honey after reheating. Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I roast the sweet potato rounds ahead and reheat them just before serving. I add the feta and honey right before they go to the table for best texture.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?

No, I leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Just make sure to scrub them well.

Can I air fry the sweet potato rounds?

Yes, I air fry them at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and crisp.

What kind of honey works best?

I like using a mild clover or wildflower honey, but I’ve also tried hot honey for a spicy-sweet twist.

Can I serve this cold?

Yes, they taste great at room temperature or slightly chilled, though I prefer them warm for the best contrast in texture.
