1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (for topping)

Tips & Variations

If you prefer a milder version, omit the red pepper flakes or reduce the amount to taste.
For a different flavor profile, try substituting goat cheese for feta.
Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of chives or parsley for variation.
Make sure the potato slices are evenly cut for consistent roasting time.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or regular oven to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the sweet potatoes soggy.

FAQs

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

Yes, you can use regular potatoes, but the cooking time may vary. Sweet potatoes roast faster and have a naturally sweeter flavor that complements the honey and feta well.

Is it possible to prepare this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the seasoning and slice the sweet potatoes ahead of time, but it’s best to roast them just before serving to maintain their crisp texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

3 large sweet potatoes (washed and sliced into ⅓-inch rounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for coating)
1 tablespoon honey (regular or hot)
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 (plus more for serving)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings and Garnish

Additional honey (for serving)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the sweet potatoes evenly and getting them crispy on the edges.
Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice each sweet potato into rounds about ⅓-inch thick to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
Coat with Oil: Drizzle olive oil onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Add the sweet potato rounds and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the olive oil, which helps with roasting and crisping.
Season the Potatoes: Sprinkle the sweet potato rounds with cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the tablespoon of honey over the potatoes. Toss everything again to make sure the rounds are fully coated with the spices and honey for a balanced flavor.
First Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. This initial roasting stage begins to soften the potatoes and develop their sweetness.
Flip and Continue Roasting: After 20 minutes, carefully flip each sweet potato round over to ensure even cooking and browning on both sides. Return the sheet to the oven and roast for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges.
Plate and Season: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle a bit more kosher salt over them to enhance the flavors.
Add Honey and Feta: Drizzle additional honey over the warm potato rounds for a glossy, sweet finish. Immediately crumble the feta cheese on top, so it slightly melts into the warm potatoes.
Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the sweet potato rounds warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.
You can substitute the feta with goat cheese or a vegan cheese alternative if preferred.
Sweet potato rounds can be prepped ahead and roasted just before serving to save time.
Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent honey or oil drips in the oven.
Make sure to flip the sweet potatoes halfway through baking to ensure crispiness on both sides.
