Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon regular or hot honey
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
- Additional honey, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F to ensure it’s properly heated for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/3-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Coat with oil: Drizzle olive oil onto a large rimmed sheet tray, then add the sweet potato rounds. Turn them carefully to coat evenly in the oil, making sure the slices aren’t touching to allow proper roasting. Use two trays if necessary.
- Season and add honey: Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Drizzle the tablespoon of honey on top and turn the rounds again so all slices are well-coated in the seasoning and honey.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the trays in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Then flip each sweet potato round carefully and return to the oven for another 25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Transfer and garnish: Carefully move the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle a little extra kosher salt for seasoning, drizzle additional honey over the top, and crumble the feta cheese evenly. Finish by sprinkling fresh chopped chives or parsley.
- Serve warm: These sweet potato rounds are best served warm for the perfect balance of crispy texture and melty feta.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, use hot honey instead of regular honey or add extra red pepper flakes.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with crumbled tofu or a vegan cheese alternative.
- Make sure the sweet potato slices are not overlapping on the baking tray to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness level.
