Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta are a sweet, savory, and satisfying side or appetizer that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. I roast thick-cut sweet potato slices until they’re caramelized and tender, then top them with creamy crumbled feta and a drizzle of honey. It’s simple, elegant, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

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

Sweet potatoes (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Crumbled feta cheese
Honey (for drizzling)
Optional: fresh thyme, rosemary, or chopped walnuts for garnish

Directions

I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
I spread the rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
Once roasted, I arrange them on a serving platter or leave them on the tray.
I sprinkle crumbled feta over the warm rounds and drizzle with honey.
I garnish with fresh herbs or chopped nuts if I want to add a little extra flair.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4 as a side or appetizer and takes about 35 minutes total—10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to roast.

Variations

Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon or smoked paprika before roasting for extra warmth or depth. I’ve also tried goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture, and a balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangy twist. For a little crunch, toasted pumpkin seeds or pecans work beautifully on top.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and slightly crisped. I usually add fresh feta and honey after reheating, since they taste best added right before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I roast the sweet potato rounds in advance, then reheat and add the toppings just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What kind of sweet potatoes should I use?

I use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for their natural sweetness and creamy texture when roasted.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Definitely. I just skip the feta or use a plant-based cheese alternative.

Is this recipe good for appetizers?

Yes, these rounds are perfect for party platters or bite-sized starters. I serve them warm or at room temperature with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Can I air fry the sweet potatoes?

Yes, I air fry the rounds at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.

Conclusion

Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta are one of my favorite ways to enjoy sweet potatoes in a more elegant, flavorful way. Whether I’m making them as a simple side or dressing them up for a special occasion, they always deliver the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory in every bite.
