Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta
Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta are a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Thick slices of sweet potato are roasted until caramelized and tender, then drizzled with honey and topped with crumbles of creamy, tangy feta cheese. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley adds brightness, while optional garnishes like a pinch of chili flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice enhance the flavor profile. This dish makes a vibrant appetizer, side, or snack, offering a balance of textures and tastes that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon regular or hot honey (spicy honey is delicious!)
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
Additional honey for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.
Mix the spices (cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper) in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, making sure they are well coated.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey to taste.
Top with crumbled feta and sprinkle fresh chives or parsley over the rounds.
Serve with extra honey drizzled on top if desired.
Enjoy these flavorful sweet potato rounds, perfectly balanced with sweet honey and salty feta!
