Slow Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Warm Honey, Pecan & Feta Dressing
If you’re after a side that feels a little more special, these slow roasted sweet potatoes deliver. Soft, caramelised rounds are layered with a warm honey dressing, crunchy pecans, and salty feta for a perfect balance of sweet and savoury.
Low Effort, Big Payoff
With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep, this recipe lets the air fryer do the heavy lifting. Cooking low and slow brings out the natural sweetness of the potatoes while keeping the centres soft, dense, and perfectly tender.
The Star: Warm Honey Pecan Dressing
The magic is in the finish. Warm, drizzly honey tossed with chopped pecans creates a glossy, nutty topping that soaks into every bite. It’s simple, but it completely transforms the dish.
Sweet, Salty, Herby Finish
A crumble of feta adds a creamy, salty contrast, while fresh thyme brings a subtle herby lift. Together, they round out the richness and keep each bite balanced.
Perfect for Any Table
Ideal for weeknight dinners, entertaining, or as a standout side at your next gathering, these sweet potatoes prove that a few good ingredients—done well—can go a long way.

Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 30 ml honey
- 10 g pecans
- 10 g feta
- Fresh thyme
Instructions
- Peel the 6 large sweet potatoes, then trim off the pointed ends so they are even. Slice them into rounds roughly 2 cm thick, keeping them as uniform as possible so they cook evenly.
- Toss the sweet potato rounds with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper, coating them well. Tip them into the air fryer basket in a single layer where possible.
- Cook at 160°C/320°F for 35–45 minutes, turning once if needed, until they are lightly golden on the outside but soft, dense, and fully tender through the centre.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop the 10 g pecans. When the potatoes are nearly ready, gently warm the 30 ml honey in the microwave until loose and drizzly, then stir through the chopped pecans.
- Arrange the cooked sweet potatoes onto a serving plate in a piled layer. Spoon over the warm honey and pecan mixture, letting it coat and drip over the edges.
- Crumble over the 10 g feta, then finish with a few sprigs of fresh thyme leaves.
- Serve warm.
