Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings
- 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!)
Toppings and Garnish
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
- Additional honey, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potato rounds evenly and crisply.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into approximately ⅓-inch thick rounds for even roasting.
- Coat the sweet potatoes: Drizzle olive oil onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Add the sweet potato slices, spreading them out so they do not touch each other, to ensure crispy edges. You may need two trays for enough space.
- Season the rounds: Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Drizzle the honey on top, then turn the slices to coat all sides evenly with oil, spices, and honey.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully flip each sweet potato round to the other side and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Finish and serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle a little more kosher salt to taste. Drizzle additional honey over the top, crumble the feta cheese evenly over the rounds, and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the sweet potato rounds are spaced apart on the baking tray.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
- Use hot honey for an added spicy-sweet flavor.
- These sweet potato rounds are best served warm for maximum flavor and texture.
- This recipe can be doubled easily using two sheet pans to accommodate more servings.
