Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the sweet potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
Try swapping smoked paprika for cumin or chili powder for a different flavor twist.
Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture and tangy flavor.
Maple syrup can replace honey to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
