What Kind of Sweet Potatoes Should I Use?

Opt for medium-sized orange-fleshed sweet potatoes like Beauregard or Garnet. These varieties roast well, hold their shape, and develop a lovely caramelized edge when baked. Make sure they’re firm, smooth, and free of blemishes.

How To Make the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

Step 1: Prep and Slice

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds, keeping them uniform for even roasting.

Step 2: Season and Roast

Arrange the rounds on the prepared sheet in a single layer. Brush each side with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Roast for 20 minutes, flip, and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden and tender.

Step 3: Top with Feta and Honey

Transfer the roasted rounds to a serving platter. While still warm, top with crumbled feta and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves for extra aroma and a pop of green.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

These are best enjoyed warm when the feta softens slightly and the honey mingles with the caramelized edges of the sweet potatoes.

How to Serve and Store These Sweet Potato Rounds

Serve these as a warm appetizer or a unique side dish. They also make a great addition to a grazing board or brunch table. To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or under a broiler for best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can roast the sweet potatoes ahead and reheat them, but add the feta and honey just before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Can I use goat cheese instead of feta?

Absolutely! Goat cheese adds a creamy tang that works wonderfully with the honey and sweet potatoes.

What if I don’t have thyme?

You can substitute rosemary or leave it out altogether. The dish will still be delicious!

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, simply skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative and drizzle with agave instead of honey.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?

No need to peel them! The skins help hold the rounds together and get nicely crisp during roasting.
