Description

Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds combine the earthy sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with the tangy creaminess of feta cheese and the delicate sweetness of honey. These rounds are an incredible appetizer, snack, or side that is easy to prepare and bursting with flavor. The combination of savory, sweet, and crunchy elements creates a balanced bite that’s as delightful as it is nutritious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds.
  3. Toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
  5. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned.
  6. Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the warm sweet potato rounds.
  8. Drizzle honey generously over the feta-topped sweet potatoes.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle with fresh thyme and chopped walnuts or pecans.
  10. Optional: Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor.
  11. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can experiment with different types of sweet potatoes, such as white or purple, for varied flavor and color.
  • If you’re not a fan of feta cheese, try goat cheese, ricotta, or even Parmesan for a different flavor.
  • Honey alternatives like maple syrup or agave nectar work well as substitutes.
  • For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes before roasting.
  • If you prefer nut-free, you can swap walnuts or pecans for sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • These rounds can also be made in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
