Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Sweet potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and sliced into rounds)
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper
Feta cheese (crumbled)
Honey (for drizzling)
Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary, crushed red pepper flakes, or chopped pecans

Directions

I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
I arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and tender.
Once out of the oven, I transfer the rounds to a serving plate.
I sprinkle generously with crumbled feta and drizzle with honey while the rounds are still warm.
I garnish with fresh herbs or optional toppings and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4–6 as a side.

Variations

Sometimes I use goat cheese instead of feta for a tangier flavor. I’ve also added a sprinkle of cinnamon or smoked paprika to the sweet potatoes before roasting for extra depth. For a bit of crunch, I top them with chopped walnuts or candied pecans.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. I drizzle fresh honey on top after reheating for the best flavor. Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. I roast the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. Just before serving, I reheat and add the feta and honey fresh.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?

I usually do for a softer bite, but it’s not required—if the skin is clean and tender, I sometimes leave it on.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. I skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative. The honey and roasted sweet potatoes are still delicious together.

Is there a substitute for honey?

Absolutely. I’ve used maple syrup or agave for a similar sweetness with great results.

Can I serve this as an appetizer?

Yes. I sometimes serve the rounds on a platter with toothpicks for easy grabbing. They make a beautiful and flavorful starter.
