Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Spices & Seasonings
- 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
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon regular or hot honey (spicy is delicious!)
- 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 prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice each sweet potato into ⅓-inch thick rounds.
- Coat in olive oil: Drizzle olive oil onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the sheet without overlapping, coating them evenly with the oil. Use two sheet trays if necessary to avoid crowding.
- Add spices and honey: Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the sweet potato rounds. Drizzle the tablespoon of honey over them and turn the potatoes again to ensure an even coating of all seasonings.
- First bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes to start crisping the potatoes.
- Flip and continue baking: Carefully flip each sweet potato round, then return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges.
- Finish and serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter and season with a little more salt. Drizzle additional honey on top, crumble the feta cheese evenly over the potatoes, and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley. Serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the sweet potato rounds are not touching each other on the baking tray.
- Use spicy honey for a more flavorful kick or regular honey for gentler sweetness.
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can be swapped with cilantro for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a milder spice, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
- Leftover sweet potato rounds can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
