How to Make Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta
Step 1: Prep the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds (no need to peel unless you prefer).
Step 2: Season and Arrange
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
Step 3: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip each round carefully and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and tender with caramelized edges.
Step 4: Add Feta & Honey
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly top each sweet potato round with crumbled feta. Return to the oven for 2–3 additional minutes, just until the feta is warmed.
Step 5: Finish & Serve
Transfer rounds to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with honey and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy!
