🧡 Cozy Flavors That Feel Like Home
There’s something magical about the way sweet potatoes caramelize in the oven—edges crisping, centers softening, and that deep, earthy sweetness intensifying. Add a sprinkle of creamy, briny feta and a warm honey drizzle? Pure comfort on a plate.
This recipe came from one of those lazy weekend dinners when I had just a few ingredients and needed something special. The result was so irresistible, it quickly became a go-to for holiday platters, brunch spreads, and cozy weeknights alike.
Sweet, salty, creamy, and crisp—every bite is balanced and bold.
🥔 Key Ingredients (And Why They Shine)
Sweet Potatoes
Naturally sweet and full of nutrients, sweet potatoes form the perfect canvas for roasting. Their sugars caramelize in the oven, bringing a toasty depth to the dish.
Olive Oil
Used to coat the sweet potatoes before roasting. It helps create that golden, crispy exterior while enhancing flavor.
Salt & Pepper
Simple seasonings that bring out the sweet potato’s natural flavor and balance the sweetness of the honey.
Feta Cheese
Crumbled over the roasted rounds, feta adds a sharp, tangy contrast that plays beautifully with the sweetness.
Honey
Drizzled just before serving, honey ties everything together with its golden, floral sweetness. Warm it slightly for the best drizzle!
Fresh Thyme or Chopped Parsley (Optional Garnish)
Adds a pop of green and a fresh herbal lift to each bite.
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven
Set the oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat ensures the sweet potatoes get crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. - Slice the sweet potatoes
Cut them into ¼ to ½ inch thick rounds—uniform size ensures even cooking. No need to peel unless you prefer! - Toss and season
Place the rounds in a bowl or on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated. - Roast until golden
Arrange the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and caramelized. - Add feta and honey
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with crumbled feta. Warm the honey slightly and drizzle over the rounds. - Garnish and serve
Finish with a touch of fresh thyme or parsley for color and freshness. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
🥂 Serving Suggestions
These sweet potato rounds are gorgeous enough for a holiday table but simple enough for weeknight meals. Try them with:
- Roast chicken or grilled salmon
- A mixed green salad with lemon vinaigrette
- A side of sautéed greens or steamed asparagus
- Served as a finger food on a charcuterie board
Presentation tip: Arrange in a circular pattern on a platter, sprinkle extra feta on top, and drizzle with honey right before serving for maximum visual appeal.
🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips
Refrigeration
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Keep the honey separate if possible to prevent sogginess.
To reheat: Place rounds in a 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 5–6 minutes.
Freezing
While you can freeze roasted sweet potatoes, the texture may soften. If freezing, skip the honey and feta until after reheating.
To reheat from frozen: Bake at 400°F until hot and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes.
💬 Final Thoughts
These Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, with textures that contrast in the most delicious way. Whether you’re serving them for brunch, dinner, or a festive gathering, they always impress.
