Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds are a simple yet elegant dish that works beautifully as an appetizer, side, or snack. I roast thick-cut rounds of sweet potato until they’re golden and caramelized, then top them with crumbled feta, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of herbs. The sweet and salty combo makes them irresistibly flavorful, and they’re just as perfect for a holiday platter as they are for a casual weekday dinner.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s quick, healthy, and has a flavor profile that always surprises people. The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with creamy, tangy feta and a touch of honey. It’s the kind of dish that looks fancy but is incredibly easy to make—and it goes with just about anything.

Ingredients

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

• Sweet potatoes
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Honey
• Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
• Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds, or chili flakes for a kick

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. I wash and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, leaving the skin on for extra texture.
3. I toss the rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
4. I roast the sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re soft on the inside and caramelized on the edges.
5. Once out of the oven, I transfer them to a serving plate and immediately sprinkle the feta over the warm rounds so it softens slightly.
6. I drizzle everything with honey and top with fresh thyme or rosemary.
7. I add any optional toppings like chopped nuts or pomegranate seeds for texture and color before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4–6 as a side or appetizer.
Prep time is about 10 minutes, and roast time is 20–25 minutes.
The full dish is ready in under 35 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier topping. For a more savory spin, I skip the honey and top the rounds with a dollop of pesto. When I want more heat, I add crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot honey. These rounds also work great with a balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangier finish.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–12 minutes to maintain their texture. I reapply the feta and honey after reheating if needed.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often roast the sweet potato rounds ahead and reheat them before adding the toppings. It makes assembling them at the last minute super easy.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?

Not at all. I leave the skin on for texture and nutrition, but if I want a smoother bite, I peel them first.

What kind of feta works best?

I use block feta for the best flavor and crumble it myself. Pre-crumbled feta works too, but it’s usually a bit drier.

Can I make these vegan?

Yes, I use a plant-based feta alternative and swap the honey for maple syrup or agave to make it completely vegan.

Are these good for a party?

Absolutely. I often serve them on a platter as finger food. They hold up well at room temperature and look beautiful with a few colorful toppings.

Conclusion

Honey Feta Sweet Potato Rounds are one of those dishes I keep coming back to—they’re fast, flavorful, and versatile enough to serve at any meal. I love the contrast of sweet, salty, and creamy in every bite. Whether I’m making a quick side, a light lunch, or a beautiful appetizer, this recipe always delivers.
