Honey-Kissed Sweet Potato Medallions with Feta
This recipe celebrates the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, their caramelised edges giving way to a soft, tender centre. Crumbled feta brings a creamy, delicate tang that gently contrasts the warmth of the potatoes, while a light drizzle of honey adds just enough sweetness to tie everything together.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment for easy roasting. Slice the sweet potatoes into even rounds and arrange them in a single layer on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once if desired, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelised at the edges.
Transfer to a serving dish while still warm. Scatter the crumbled feta over the top and finish with a gentle drizzle of honey. Sprinkle with fresh herbs just before serving, allowing their brightness to lift the sweetness and richness of the dish.
A few details make all the difference
01
Cut Even Rounds for Consistent Roasting
Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds of equal thickness so every piece cooks at the same rate. Coat both sides lightly with olive oil, salt and black pepper, then arrange them in one uncrowded layer to encourage caramelisation rather than steaming.
02
Roast Until the Edges Caramelise
Leave a little space between the rounds so hot air can circulate freely. Turn them once during roasting for more even colour, then continue cooking until the centres are tender and the edges are deeply golden and lightly crisp.
03
Garnish While the Sweet Potatoes Are Warm
Transfer the roasted rounds to the serving dish while still warm, then scatter over the feta so it softens slightly without melting completely. Add the honey in a thin drizzle and finish with fresh herbs immediately before serving for colour and freshness.

Cook’s notes
Replace the cheese
For a slightly different character, you may replace the feta with creamy goat cheese for a brighter, tangier finish.
Add heat
If you enjoy a hint of warmth, a light sprinkle of chilli flakes adds a gentle heat that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the roasted potatoes.
