Description

Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish featuring roasted sweet potato slices topped with creamy crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of sweet honey. This recipe combines savory, sweet, and herbaceous flavors for a crowd-pleasing treat that’s perfect for any meal or gathering.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes

Toppings

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potato rounds.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into rounds about ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary if you choose to use it. This coats the slices evenly for flavor and roasting.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
  5. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through cooking. This ensures they become tender on the inside and slightly caramelized on the outside.
  6. Add Feta: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the roasted sweet potato rounds.
  7. Drizzle with Honey: Generously drizzle honey over the feta-topped sweet potatoes for a perfect sweet contrast.
  8. Return to Oven: Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This step warms the feta and allows the honey to slightly melt, melding the flavors together.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the sweet potato rounds warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried thyme with rosemary or omit the herbs if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use agave syrup instead of honey.
  • Make sure to flip the sweet potato rounds halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
  • The dish is best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature as well.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
