  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 large sweet potatoes

Seasonings & Oils

  • 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

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon regular or hot honey (spicy preferred)
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped
  • Additional honey, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes, ensuring it's hot enough to create crisp edges.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into ⅓-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and perfect texture.
  3. Coat Potatoes with Oil: Drizzle olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Add the sweet potato rounds, avoiding crowding by potentially using two trays, and turn to coat each slice evenly with the oil.
  4. Add Seasonings and Honey: Sprinkle cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey atop the slices, then toss gently again to distribute the spices and honey thoroughly.
  5. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the sheet tray(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Afterward, flip each round over carefully and continue roasting for an additional 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Final Seasoning: Transfer the roasted sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Sprinkle with a little extra salt to enhance flavor.
  7. Add Toppings: Drizzle additional honey over the potatoes, crumble the feta cheese on top, and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
  8. Serve Warm: Enjoy these sweet potato rounds while they are still warm to fully appreciate their crispy texture and the harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use hot honey or add more red pepper flakes for extra spice.
  • Ensure potato slices are not overcrowded on the baking sheet for even roasting and crispiness.
  • To make it vegetarian, confirm the feta cheese is suitable; this recipe is already vegetarian.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
