Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 large sweet potatoes

Seasoning and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon honey (regular or spicy for extra flavor)
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • Extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the potatoes into ⅓-inch thick round slices to ensure even cooking.
  2. Coat with Oil: Drizzle olive oil onto a large rimmed sheet tray to prevent sticking. Add the sweet potato slices to the tray, turning them to coat evenly with the oil. Use two trays if necessary to avoid crowding and help them roast uniformly.
  3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: Sprinkle ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, crushed red chili flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the sweet potato slices. Drizzle the honey over them and turn the slices again to distribute the seasonings and honey thoroughly.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the slices carefully and return to the oven for another 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden and crispy around the edges.
  5. Finish and Serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Season with a little extra salt if desired. Drizzle more honey on top, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use two sheet trays to avoid overcrowding for best roasting results.
  • Adjust honey amount or use spicy honey for a sweeter or spicier flavor.
  • Sweet potatoes can vary in size; slice uniformly for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
  • For a vegan version, omit feta or use a vegan cheese alternative.
