Ingredients You’ll Need for Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta Crumble

How to Make Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta Crumble

Preheat Oven
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the sweet potatoes from sticking and helps with clean-up!
Slice Potatoes
Wash and cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds for even cooking. The sharper the knife, the easier this will be!
Season Rounds
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are coated on both sides. You want to ensure each slice has that lovely olive oil sheen.
Arrange on Pan
Spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each round so they roast instead of steam.
Roast Until Tender
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and soft inside. Your kitchen is going to smell heavenly!
Add Toppings
Once roasted, transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving plate. Drizzle with honey, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese to your heart’s content.
Finish & Serve
If you’re using fresh herbs, garnish them on top. Serve warm or at room temperature — they’re delightful either way!

Variations & Creative Twists

Spicy Kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the olive oil mix for a warming heat.
Nutty Flavor: Top with chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and a delicious nutty aroma.
Herby Delight: Mix in fresh rosemary or sage into the honey drizzle for a fragrant herbal note.
Zesty Twist: Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top before serving for a bright, tangy finish.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can prep the sweet potatoes the day before; just toss them in olive oil and season, then refrigerate until ready to roast.
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have feta, crumbled goat cheese is a lovely substitute that adds a creamy touch.
Slicing Tricks: A mandoline slicer can ensure you get perfect, even slices every time, making your rounds cook uniformly.
Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
