Description
Perfectly crispy sweet potato wedges roasted with savory spices, topped with creamy feta cheese and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle. An irresistible side dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for best crispiness.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- While the wedges roast, prepare the hot honey drizzle: in a small saucepan, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Warm over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Transfer roasted sweet potato wedges to a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Drizzle the hot honey mixture generously over the wedges and feta. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder heat, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes in the honey drizzle. The wedges are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
