Why You’ll Love This Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

  • The perfect blend of sweet and savory in every bite.
  • Quick prep and hands-off roasting make it a low-effort delight.
  • Ideal for meal prep, potlucks, or festive gatherings.
  • Loaded with nutrients, yet indulgent enough for comfort food cravings.

What Kind of Sweet Potatoes Work Best?

Opt for orange-fleshed varieties like Jewel or Garnet. These types roast beautifully, developing a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior while the outside caramelizes to golden perfection. Uniformly shaped sweet potatoes are easier to slice into thick, even rounds for consistent roasting.


Ingredients for the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

Each ingredient in this dish plays an important role in balancing flavors and texture:

  • Sweet Potatoes – The star of the show. Choose firm, evenly shaped ones for perfect rounds.
  • Olive Oil – Helps achieve that golden-brown roast and adds a smooth richness.
  • Honey – For a touch of natural sweetness that enhances the sweet potatoes without overpowering.
  • Feta Cheese – Crumbly, salty, and creamy—this adds a perfect contrast to the sweetness.
  • Fresh Parsley – Adds brightness and color to each bite.
  • Salt & Pepper – Enhances every flavor and balances the dish.

How To Make the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 2: Season and Arrange

Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them, then season with salt and pepper. Flip to coat both sides evenly.

Step 3: Roast to Perfection

Roast for 20 minutes, flip the rounds, then roast another 15-20 minutes until golden and tender.

Step 4: Glaze and Garnish

While still warm, drizzle honey over the rounds. Sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped parsley on top.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while the cheese softens slightly over the hot sweet potatoes.


Serving and Storing Your Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds

This dish serves about 4 people as a side or 2 as a vegetarian main. Best served warm, right out of the oven, when the feta is slightly melty and the honey glaze is aromatic.

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to regain crisp edges—a microwave will soften the texture.
