Introduction

These roasted sweet potato rounds are a flavorful and easy side dish that combines warmth from spices with a touch of honey and tangy feta. Crispy on the edges and soft inside, they’re perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

A white plate holds a pile of round roasted sweet potato slices, each slice showing a deep orange color with slightly charred, dark brown edges. The sweet potatoes are sprinkled with small white crumbles of cheese and tiny green sprigs of herbs scattered across the top. Some honey or syrup glistens lightly on the surface of the potatoes, giving them a shiny look. The plate is placed on a white marbled surface, creating a clean and bright background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon regular or hot honey (spicy is delicious!)
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped

Additional honey, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2: Wash the sweet potatoes well and pat dry. Slice the potatoes into ⅓-inch thick round slices.

Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil on a large rimmed sheet tray. Add the sweet potato rounds and turn them to coat evenly with oil. Use two trays if needed to avoid the potato slices touching each other.
Step 4: Sprinkle cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon honey on top, then turn the potato slices again to coat evenly with the spices and honey.
Step 5: Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip the sweet potato rounds and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden and crispy.

Step 6: Transfer the potatoes carefully to a serving platter and season with a little more salt.
Step 7: Drizzle additional honey over the rounds. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and finish with chopped fresh chives or parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a smoky depth, try using smoked sea salt instead of kosher salt.

Substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.

Storage

Store leftover roasted sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to keep edges crispy, or warm in a skillet over medium heat. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
