Description
These Crispy Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta are a cozy, sweet-savory appetizer that’s perfect for fall gatherings, holidays, or a simple weeknight treat. Thick rounds of roasted sweet potato get caramelized in the oven, then topped with creamy feta, a drizzle of honey, and fresh herbs for a dish that’s both elegant and easy.
Ingredients
2–3 medium sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into ½-inch rounds (uniform slices ensure even roasting)
2 tablespoons olive oil, for coating and crisping
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons honey (or hot honey for a little spice)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese for a creamier twist)
Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Slice sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well.
Add spices — smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer (no overlapping!) to ensure crispness.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rounds are golden brown and caramelized on the edges.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey while still warm.
Sprinkle feta cheese over the rounds and top with fresh herbs before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a fall snack board.
Notes
For extra crisp edges, broil for the last 1–2 minutes — just keep a close eye on them.
Make ahead: Slice and season the sweet potatoes a day in advance, then roast when ready to serve.
Vegan option: Use plant-based feta and maple syrup instead of honey.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 400°F for 5–8 minutes to keep them crisp.
