Sweet potato rounds glazed with honey, scattered with salty feta and crunchy chickpeas — a simple and bright balance of sweet and savory.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 11.2 lb), scrubbed and sliced into 1/4–1/3-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus a little extra for drizzling
  • 12 tbsp honey (adjust to taste; use maple syrup to make vegan)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta (or vegan feta alternative)
  • 3/41 cup cooked chickpeas (canned, drained and patted dry, or roasted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes into even rounds, about 1/4–1/3 inch thick.
  3. Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet with small gaps between them.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush or drizzle this mixture over the sweet potato rounds.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  6. Scatter the chickpeas and crumbled feta over the rounds about 5 minutes before the end of roasting.
  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle with more honey if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Try serving them as an appetizer or on a bed of arugula for a light main dish. For extra crunch, add chopped toasted walnuts or pepitas.
