Best ways to enjoy it
Serving Sweet Potato Rounds with Burrata & Hot Honey Drizzle is all about presentation and complementary flavors.

Storage and reheating tips
Leftovers? No problem! To keep your sweet potato rounds fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. If you have topped them with burrata and honey, consider adding these elements freshly when serving to maintain their flavors.
Helpful cooking tips
- For even cooking, aim for uniform thickness when slicing the sweet potatoes to ensure they roast evenly.
- Experiment with different types of honey or chili flakes to find your perfect sweet and spicy balance.
- If you enjoy grilling, try making these rounds on the grill for a smoky flavor twist.
Creative twists
Looking for variations? Here are some ideas to switch things up:
- Try adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a tangy finish.
- For a vegan option, substitute the burrata with cashew cheese.
- Use different herbs, like cilantro or chives, to give this dish a unique twist.
- Add roasted nuts or seeds for crunch, enhancing both flavor and texture.
