Print Recipe

These roasted sweet potato rounds are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, topped with creamy feta and a drizzle of honey. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish, they are sure to impress at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your sweet potatoes roast perfectly, developing that crispy exterior.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. Avoid cutting them too thick, as they won’t cook through properly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Make sure each round is evenly coated to enhance flavor.
  5. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; this helps them crisp up instead of steaming.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Turn the rounds halfway through cooking for even browning. They should be tender and golden brown when done — if they’re still firm, give them a few more minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. This will make them easier to handle and allow the flavors to set.
  8. Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. This makes for an appealing presentation!
  9. Sprinkle ¾ cup of crumbled feta cheese over the top of the sweet potatoes. The warmth of the potatoes will slightly melt the cheese, enhancing the flavor.
  10. Drizzle with ¼ cup honey and garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. The honey adds a beautiful shine and a sweet contrast to the savory feta.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature. This dish is versatile and can be enjoyed at various temperatures.

Keywords: Be careful not to overcrowd your baking sheet to avoid steaming. Use a high-quality olive oil for roasting to enhance flavor. You can substitute feta with goat cheese if needed.
