Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley chopped

Optional

  • red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even roasting. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately drizzle the honey over them while they’re hot. Gently toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta on top and return the pan to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the feta softens slightly. Finish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

Tips for Making the Best Honey Feta Potatoes

Use potatoes with similar sizes so they roast evenly.
Roast at a high temperature to get maximum crispiness.
Add honey while the potatoes are hot so it coats evenly.
Use high-quality feta for the best flavor.
Fresh herbs added at the end keep the dish bright and balanced.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap honey for hot honey if you like a sweet-heat combo.
Use maple syrup for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
Add lemon zest for a fresh, citrusy finish.
Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
Toss in roasted garlic or caramelized onions for extra depth.
