Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon regular or hot honey
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
- Additional honey, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to get it ready for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into ⅓-inch thick round slices for even cooking.
- Coat with Oil and Spices: Drizzle olive oil on a large rimmed sheet tray. Arrange the sweet potato slices without overlapping to ensure crispiness. Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Drizzle the honey on top, then turn the potatoes gently to coat all slices evenly with oil and seasonings.
- First Bake: Place the sheet tray into the oven and bake for 20 minutes to start roasting the potatoes.
- Flip and Continue Baking: Remove the tray, flip each sweet potato round carefully, then return it to the oven to bake for an additional 25 minutes or until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle a little more salt if desired, drizzle with extra honey, crumble feta cheese over the top, and finish with fresh chopped chives or parsley. Serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- Use a thin, uniform slice thickness to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
- Space the sweet potato rounds out on the baking tray so they roast instead of steam.
- Adjust honey amounts based on desired sweetness or spiciness, especially if using hot honey.
- Feta cheese adds a creamy, salty contrast; goat cheese can be a good substitute if preferred.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a bright, fresh finish but can be omitted if unavailable.
