Save this recipe on:

When it comes to fall or holiday side dishes that double as crowd-pleasing appetizers, roasted sweet potato rounds with honey and feta are an absolute winner. They’re crispy on the edges, creamy in the center, and topped with tangy crumbles and a kiss of sweetness. The balance of flavors makes every bite satisfying, whether you’re serving them at Thanksgiving dinner or your next game-day gathering.

These little rounds are not only beautiful to serve but also surprisingly simple to prepare. A drizzle of olive oil and a hot oven take care of the bulk of the work, while a finishing touch of crumbled feta, honey, and fresh herbs elevates the dish into something that feels gourmet but tastes familiar.

Why You’ll Love This Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

This recipe is a brilliant mix of flavor and texture: soft roasted sweet potato centers, crisp golden edges, salty feta, and just enough honey to round it out. It requires just a handful of ingredients and is naturally gluten-free. Even better, it can be served warm or at room temperature, making it ideal for parties and potlucks.

Can I Use Yams Instead of Sweet Potatoes?

Technically yes, but the results will vary slightly. Yams are starchier and less sweet than true sweet potatoes. If you’re after that classic sweet-savory contrast, stick with orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. They’ll caramelize beautifully and offer the ideal canvas for the honey and feta topping.

Ingredients for the Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta

To make these bites shine, each ingredient is chosen for flavor and function. Here’s what you need:

Sweet potatoes
This is the heart of the dish. Choose medium-sized ones so the slices are easy to handle and cook evenly.

Olive oil
A good drizzle helps the potatoes roast to golden perfection, adding richness and crisp edges.

Salt and pepper
Essential seasonings to bring out the natural sweetness of the potatoes and balance the honey.

Honey
Just a light drizzle after roasting gives a pop of sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the saltiness of the cheese.

Feta cheese
Crumbled over the top, feta adds creaminess and a salty tang that complements the sweet potatoes.

Fresh thyme or rosemary
A sprinkle of herbs adds a fresh, earthy finish. Thyme is milder, rosemary is bolder – both are great choices.

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

Step 1: Slice and Prep

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then slice them into rounds about ¼ inch thick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the rounds in a single layer.

Step 2: Season and Roast

Drizzle the sweet potato slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Flip each round to coat both sides evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crisp.

Step 3: Add Toppings

Once out of the oven, arrange the rounds on a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta over the warm potatoes, then drizzle lightly with honey. Finish with a touch of chopped fresh herbs for an herby kick.

Step 4: Serve

Serve immediately while warm, or let cool to room temperature. These are just as tasty once cooled and are easy to make ahead for entertaining.

How to Serve and Store These Sweet Potato Rounds

This recipe makes about 4 to 6 servings depending on how generously you portion the rounds. They’re perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or even a light vegetarian main with a salad. Serve them on a large platter or stacked artfully for individual plates.

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They reheat well in a toaster oven or standard oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes. While the texture won’t be quite as crispy, they’ll still taste amazing.
