Description
Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds are an easy, elegant side: caramelized sweet potato slices topped with creamy feta, warm honey, and fresh herbs. Perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday buffets, or a simple weeknight veggie side.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes (garnet or jewel), scrubbed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey (warm slightly if thick)
- 1–2 tsp fresh thyme or chopped rosemary, for garnish
- Optional: 2 tbsp chopped pistachios or walnuts; 2 tbsp pomegranate arils; 1–2 tsp balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment.
2. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds (even thickness). Arrange in a single layer.
3. Brush both sides with olive oil; season with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
4. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are caramelized and centers are tender.
5. Remove pan from oven; immediately sprinkle each round with crumbled feta.
6. Drizzle honey evenly over the hot rounds. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 tsp salt to balance sweetness.
7. Garnish with thyme or rosemary. Add nuts, pomegranate, or balsamic glaze if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Tips:
• Even slices = even roasting. Aim for 1/2-inch thick.
• For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
• Not peeling is fine—the skins crisp nicely and add fiber.
• Swap-ins: goat cheese for extra creaminess; maple syrup for a deeper sweetness.
Make-ahead & storage:
• Roast rounds up to 1 day ahead. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for ~10 minutes, then add feta, honey, and garnishes.
• Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to re-crisp.
Serving ideas:
• Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving veggie side.
• Appetizer board with nuts, grapes, and crackers.
• Over arugula or quinoa for a light vegetarian dinner.
