Delicious Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds Recipe

These honey feta sweet potato rounds are a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. Crispy on the edges and soft inside, they make a delicious snack or side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
• ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, making sure the slices are uniform for even roasting.
3. Step 3: Toss the sweet potato rounds in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
4. Step 4: Roast the rounds for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy.
5. Step 5: Warm the honey slightly. Drizzle it over the roasted rounds immediately after baking, then sprinkle with crumbled feta, fresh thyme leaves, and red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Step 6: Arrange the sweet potato rounds on a platter and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

• Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture and tangy flavor.
• For extra crispiness, broil the rounds for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting, watching closely to prevent burning.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a bright, acidic contrast.
• Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley if thyme isn’t available.
• Adjust honey and red pepper flakes to taste for your preferred balance of sweetness and heat.

Storage

Store any leftover sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep them crispy.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sweet potato rounds in advance?

You can slice and season the sweet potatoes ahead of time, but it’s best to roast and add the honey and feta just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.

Are these suitable for a vegan diet?

To make this recipe vegan, omit the feta and use a plant-based cheese alternative. Make sure the honey is replaced with a vegan-friendly sweetener like maple syrup.

Sweet Potato Rounds

• 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

• 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
• ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
2. Slice sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, ensuring all slices are uniform in thickness to promote even roasting.
3. Toss and season: In a bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping to allow for crisp edges.
4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the rounds for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking so both sides become golden and crispy.
5. Drizzle and top: Warm the honey slightly to make it pourable. Immediately after removing the sweet potato rounds from the oven, drizzle the warm honey over them. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you desire a little heat.
6. Serve: Arrange the honey feta sweet potato rounds on a serving platter and serve warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

• For even crisper slices, make sure the sweet potato rounds are cut uniformly.
• Warming the honey makes it easier to drizzle evenly over the hot potatoes.
• Feel free to swap fresh thyme for rosemary or other herbs based on preference.
• Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice contrast to the sweet and salty flavors.
• Serve these rounds as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
