Description

These Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta combine the natural sweetness of tender roasted sweet potatoes with the salty tang of crumbled feta and a touch of honey, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish is a perfect savory-sweet appetizer or side that’s easy to prepare and full of vibrant flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Toppings

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Slice the washed and scrubbed sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds to allow even roasting.
  3. Season the rounds: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  5. Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
  6. Add the toppings: Remove the roasted sweet potato rounds from the oven. While still warm, drizzle ¼ cup of honey over them and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finally, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sweet potatoes for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the sweet potato rounds for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version, and use vegan feta to keep it plant-based.
  • This recipe works well as a make-ahead dish; simply reheat gently in the oven before serving.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of chili flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat.
