I have to admit, I never thought a Easy Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta Recipe could taste so decadent. After trying this recipe, I was hooked! The combination of crispy edges, soft centers, and the sweet-salty punch from honey and feta is pure magic.

Every time I make these, my kitchen smells incredible, and the flavors are addictive. Just like the Chicken Parmesan Sliders Recipe I tried last week, this recipe has quickly become a favorite for snacks, sides, or even party platters.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these irresistible roasted sweet potato rounds:

3 large sweet potatoes – I prefer firm, fresh sweet potatoes for the best texture; avoid frozen or overly soft ones.
3 tablespoons olive oil – adds crispiness and helps the spices stick; extra-virgin is ideal.
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon – balances the savory flavors with a gentle warmth.
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika – gives a subtle smoky depth.
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin – adds a hint of earthiness.
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander – brightens the spice mix.
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes – optional for a mild heat kick.
1 teaspoon kosher salt – enhances all flavors naturally.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper – for gentle spiciness.
1 tablespoon regular or hot honey – hot honey elevates the flavor, but plain works perfectly.
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese – fresh feta adds a creamy, tangy touch.
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped – for garnish and a burst of color.
Additional honey for drizzling – optional but irresistible.

Note: several serving as a note of full line under the ingredients quantity.

Variations

You can easily tweak this recipe to suit your preferences:

For a dairy-free version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese or omit entirely.
If you want sugar-free, try a drizzle of pure maple syrup instead of honey.
Add flavor boosts like a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, crushed pistachios, or a dash of smoked chili powder.
Swap chives for fresh thyme or rosemary for an earthy twist. Similar to the creamy texture in the Garlic Butter Chicken and Rice Recipe, swapping ingredients can transform the dish to your taste.

How to Make Easy Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey and Feta Recipe?

Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry to remove any excess moisture. Slice them into ⅓-inch thick rounds for even roasting and a perfect crisp-soft texture.

Coating with Oil and Spices

Place the rounds in a large bowl or directly on the sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spice mix evenly. Toss gently to coat each round thoroughly, ensuring every piece gets a touch of cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.

Roasting the Sweet Potatoes

Arrange the rounds on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between them. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip each piece and continue cooking for another 20-25 minutes. You want golden edges with a soft, tender center.

Adding Honey and Feta

Once roasted, transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey, crumble feta generously over the top, and sprinkle with fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Additional Tips for Making this Recipe Better

From my experience, a few tweaks make this dish even more delightful:

I always slice the potatoes uniformly so they cook evenly; nothing ruins a batch like uneven roasting.
Using hot honey gives a subtle kick that balances sweetness and savory flavors perfectly.
I like to use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent oil and honey drips in the oven.
Don’t overcrowd the tray – giving the rounds space helps them get crispier.

Presentation is key! Serve the sweet potato rounds on a large platter for gatherings. Drizzle a little extra honey right before serving, sprinkle some extra herbs on top, or even add a few pomegranate seeds for a festive touch. These make an eye-catching side dish or appetizer.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing

You can freeze roasted rounds without feta. Lay them flat in a freezer bag, then reheat in the oven directly from frozen.
