Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds Recipe

So you want something snacky, sweet, salty, pretty, and zero stress? Oh, and preferably something that makes people say, “Wait… you made that?” These honey feta sweet potato rounds are your new party trick. They look fancy, taste amazing, and require the cooking skills of a distracted goldfish. Win-win.

Why This Recipe Is Awesome

Let’s be honest:

  • It’s idiot-proof. Like, “even I didn’t mess it up” level simple.
  • It uses regular ingredients you probably already have—nothing weird, nothing you need to Google.
  • The combo of sweet potatoes, creamy feta, and drippy honey? Chef’s kiss.
  • They’re pretty enough to make you look like someone who knows what “charcuterie” means without Googling it first.
  • Fast, easy, and weirdly addictive. Seriously, you’ll think about these later.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Sweet potatoes – sliced into rounds like coins you wish were real.
  • Olive oil – for that golden crisp.
  • Salt & black pepper – because flavor is important, my friend.
  • Crumbled feta cheese – the salty queen of toppings.
  • Honey – drizzle like you’re filming a slow-mo food commercial.
  • Fresh thyme (optional) – if you want to feel fancy.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) – for the “I like a tiny bit of danger” crowd.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Yes, you do need to preheat it. Trust me.
  2. Slice your sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds. Thinner slices = chips. Thicker slices = regret.
  3. Toss the rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re coated—don’t halfheartedly flick oil at them.
  4. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer. No overlapping. They need personal space.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. They should be soft inside and lightly crisp outside. Basically potato perfection.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately add crumbled feta on top while they’re warm and ready to cuddle.
  7. Drizzle with honey like the culinary artist you secretly are. Don’t drown them… but don’t be stingy either.
  8. Finish with thyme or chili flakes if you want a little color or spice.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy the applause or internal validation—whichever you prefer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping the preheat. Don’t be that person. Your potatoes will cook unevenly, and the universe will judge you.
  • Cutting uneven slices. One burns, one is raw, and suddenly you’re questioning your life choices.
  • Overcrowding the pan. You’re roasting, not steaming. Give those rounds some room to breathe.
  • Using too much oil. This isn’t a slip-and-slide. A light coat is all you need.
  • Forgetting the honey. That drizzle ties everything together—don’t deny yourself joy.

Alternatives & Substitutions

  • No feta? Use goat cheese for extra creaminess. IMO, it’s just as magical.
  • No honey? Maple syrup works too—just don’t chug it (tempting, I know).
  • Want more crunch? Add chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Feeling spicy? Go wild with chili crisp instead of red pepper flakes.
  • On a diet? First of all… same. Second, skip the honey and keep it savory.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can, but they’re way better fresh. Reheated rounds get a little sad—still yummy, but sad.

Can I air fry them?

Absolutely. Air fry at 375°F for about 12–15 minutes. Check halfway so you don’t accidentally create sweet potato charcoal.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?

Nope. Keep the peel on—it adds texture, nutrients, and saves you effort. A triple win.

Can I add protein on top?

Sure! Crispy bacon bits, shredded chicken, or chickpeas work. Go rogue.

Will regular potatoes work?

Technically yes… but you’ll miss the sweet-savory magic. Don’t do future-you dirty.

Is this good for parties?

Yes! They look fancy but require zero brain cells. Perfect for impressing people you barely know.

Can I store leftovers?

Yep. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to revive their spirit.
