Gather These Ingredients:
This Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble comes together with pantry staples and a few flavor heroes that make all the difference.
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds (for those perfect crispy sweet potato snacks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (I reach for a fruity extra virgin oil for that lovely depth)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a subtle smoky punch that complements the honey drizzle appetizer vibe)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, high quality feta makes all the difference here
- 3 tablespoons honey, ideally a wildflower honey for that signature floral sweetness
- Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (look for fresh herbs in the produce aisle)
Want to switch things up in your Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble? Try swapping out smoked paprika for a pinch of cayenne for heat or using goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier crumble. If you have honey on hand but want a subtler sweetness, maple syrup works beautifully too.
Look for authentic, crumbly feta in the cheese section or the international aisle of your grocery store; it brings that perfect salty pop that makes this Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble recipe sing. I always reach for a block of feta and crumble it fresh rather than buying pre-crumbled—it melts better and tastes fresher.
To cut down on prep time when making Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble, you can slice your sweet potatoes with a mandoline for even rounds and roast while you prepare your crumble mix. Trust me, even slices make for even cooking and that coveted crispy edge we all crave.
Let’s Make This Happen!
Ready to turn these ingredients into crowd-pleasing Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble? This recipe takes about 35 minutes from start to finish, perfect for a quick yet impressive appetizer.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment to keep things tidy.
- Slice your sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Uniform thickness is key to getting that crispy sweet potato snack texture.
- Toss sliced sweet potatoes in olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every round gets a shiny coat—that’s where the crispiness magic begins.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet, no overlap! Crowding means steaming instead of roasting; you want those edges crispy and golden.
- Roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll know your Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble are ready when the edges are nicely browned and the centers feel tender but not mushy.
- While the rounds roast, crumble your feta cheese and set aside. Drizzle the honey right before serving, so it stays glossy and fresh.
- Once out of the oven, arrange rounds on a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled feta generously over the warm sweet potato slices—that slight melting feta texture is a total crowd favorite.
- Drizzle honey evenly over the top. This honey drizzle appetizer finish adds that irresistible sweet note without overpowering the savory.
If your Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey Feta Crumble seem a bit soggy, just pop them back in for a few minutes uncovered to crisp up again. Cooking times can vary based on your oven and how thick your slices are, so keep an eye on them during that crucial last step.
One kitchen-tested trick: line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup but also to promote crispiness. I learned this the hard way after a few sticky trays!
If you want to add a little herb pop, sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary leaves on right before serving. It’s subtle but elevates this sweet potato rounds recipe into something extra special.
