Ingredients for this Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Hot Honey and Feta

4 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons hot honey
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

What you choose for the herb finish is up to you. The feta gives a nice tang while the hot honey adds a gentle kick. If you prefer a milder glaze, you can use a honey lime mix or a plain honey drizzle instead.

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Wash the sweet potatoes well. Slice them into coins about ½ inch thick or into planks for quicker cooking.
Toss the slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Grill the potatoes, turning once, until they are tender and nicely charred. This usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Transfer the grilled potatoes to a warm platter. While they are hot, drizzle with hot honey so the glaze clings, then scatter crumbled feta on top.
If you like, finish with lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped herbs for a fresh lift. Serve warm.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare this in advance?

Yes, you can pre slice the potatoes and toss with oil, salt, and pepper up to a day ahead. Keep them refrigerated until ready to grill. Drizzle with hot honey and add feta just before serving to keep the texture fresh.

What if I don’t have feta?

Feta adds a tangy contrast, but you can substitute goat cheese for a milder tang or crumble aged cheddar for a sharper bite. Halloumi works well too if you want a more robust, slightly chewy texture.

Is this dish good for meal prep?

Absolutely. Grill a batch on the weekend, store in an airtight container, and reheat gently. The feta might soften as it sits, so if you want distinct toppings, keep them separate until serving and add just before you eat.
