Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

Roasted sweet potato rounds with honey & feta are the perfect mix of sweet, salty, creamy, and crisp. Thick slices of roasted sweet potatoes are cooked until golden and caramelized, then topped with tangy crumbled feta, a drizzle of honey, and fresh herbs. I love making this as a quick side dish, party appetizer, or even a light lunch when I want something easy but flavorful.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s simple, elegant, and full of contrast. The natural sweetness of the roasted sweet potatoes pairs beautifully with the salty feta and sticky honey. Plus, it only takes a few ingredients to create something that looks and tastes fancy. It works as a side for roasted meats, a vegetarian main, or a crowd-pleasing holiday platter.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into thick rounds

• Olive oil

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Crumbled feta cheese

• Honey

• Fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley (for garnish)

• Optional: red pepper flakes or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. I slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3. I arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

4. Once out of the oven, I transfer the rounds to a serving plate.

5. I top each one with a sprinkle of crumbled feta, a light drizzle of honey, and a few fresh herbs.

6. I serve them warm or at room temperature.

Variations

Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon or smoked paprika before roasting for extra depth. For a spicy version, I drizzle with hot honey or sprinkle on red pepper flakes. I’ve also swapped feta for goat cheese or blue cheese for a different twist. And for a fall flavor profile, I drizzle with maple syrup instead of honey.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place the rounds on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through. I usually add the feta and honey after reheating so everything stays fresh.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead?

Yes, I roast the sweet potato rounds ahead of time and add the toppings just before serving.

What’s the best type of sweet potato to use?

I usually go for orange-fleshed sweet potatoes—they’re naturally sweet and roast up beautifully.

Can I use crumbled goat cheese instead of feta?

Definitely. Goat cheese is creamy and tangy and works really well with the honey and sweet potatoes.

How thick should I slice the rounds?

I keep them about ½ inch thick so they stay soft in the middle and crisp around the edges after roasting.

Are these served warm or cold?

I like them best warm or at room temperature, but they’re still delicious cold straight from the fridge.

Conclusion

Roasted sweet potato rounds with honey & feta are a delicious way to turn simple ingredients into something truly special. With their caramelized edges, creamy toppings, and sweet-savory balance, they’re always a hit at the table. Whether I’m making them for a casual dinner or a holiday spread, they never last long.
