  • Author: Rachel Summers
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

These sweet potato rounds are a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer featuring caramelized sweet potatoes topped with tangy feta, a drizzle of honey, and optional fresh herbs and nuts. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or a fancy snack, they’re naturally gluten-free and endlessly adaptable.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.3 lbs), scrubbed and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Wash and scrub sweet potatoes. Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Roast for 18-22 minutes, flipping each round halfway through, until golden at the edges and fork-tender.
  6. While rounds bake, crumble feta into a small bowl and chop parsley and nuts if using.
  7. Transfer roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Immediately sprinkle with feta, drizzle with honey, and top with parsley and nuts.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy fresh, or store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

For crispier rounds, use an air fryer at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure caramelization. Add feta and honey after roasting for best texture. Customize with vegan cheese and maple syrup for dairy-free/vegan options. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
