Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Sweet Potato Rounds: Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss gently to coat each slice. Spread them out evenly and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and the slices are tender.
- Assemble the Rounds: Remove the roasted sweet potato slices from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a small amount of softened goat cheese on each round, gently smoothing it over the surface.
- Drizzle Honey: Finally, drizzle honey over each goat cheese-topped sweet potato round. Serve warm or at room temperature as an elegant appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary over the sweet potato rounds before roasting.
- Use plain or herbed goat cheese depending on your taste preference.
- These can be made ahead of time; simply roast and assemble just before serving.
- To make it vegan, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
