Description

Delight in the perfect balance of sweet and savory with these Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds drizzled with honey and topped with creamy feta cheese. Crispy on the edges and tender inside, this easy-to-make dish is enhanced with smoked paprika and garlic powder for a flavorful punch. Finished with fresh herbs, it’s an irresistible appetizer, side dish, or light vegetarian main that can elevate any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, ensuring your sweet potatoes won’t stick and cleanup is simple.
  2. Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until all slices are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning mix.
  3. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the slices do not overlap to promote even roasting and crispy edges.
  4. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure they become golden brown with tender centers and crispy edges.
  5. Add the Toppings: Remove the roasted rounds from the oven and immediately drizzle them with honey while still hot. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese; the residual heat will soften the feta slightly, creating a creamy contrast.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with chopped fresh parsley or thyme for a fresh herbal note. Serve these sweet potato rounds warm as a delightful side, appetizer, or vegetarian main dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the sweet potato slices are spaced out on the baking sheet without overlapping.
  • Use fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for the best flavor; mint or basil could be interesting alternatives.
  • Sweet potatoes can vary in size; slice evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes to retain crispness.
