Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Toppings

  • 8 oz brie cheese, sliced or crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare sweet potato rounds: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and evenly season with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor and promote browning.
  3. Initial baking: Bake the sweet potato rounds for 15-18 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned, ensuring they are cooked through and have a pleasant texture.
  4. Add toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each sweet potato round with a slice or crumble of brie cheese, a few cranberries, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans to add creaminess, tartness, and crunch.
  5. Melt brie and soften cranberries: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the brie cheese is melted and the cranberries soften slightly, melding the flavors beautifully.
  6. Serve: Serve the Sweet Potato Rounds warm as a delicious appetizer or snack and enjoy the perfect combination of sweet, savory, creamy, and crunchy elements.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries for a tart burst or frozen cranberries for convenience—either works well.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some fresh thyme or rosemary on top before baking the second time.
  • These rounds are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
  • Substitute walnuts or almonds for pecans if preferred.
