An elegant, bite-size appetizer featuring roasted sweet potato rounds topped with creamy goat cheese and a crunchy pecan and cranberry topping. These are perfect for parties and can be made ahead.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the sweet potato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the softened goat cheese with chopped pecans and dried cranberries in a small bowl. If using, stir in the chopped rosemary.
  6. Once the sweet potato rounds are done roasting, let them cool slightly.
  7. Top each sweet potato round with a dollop of the goat cheese mixture.
  8. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a smoother goat cheese topping, whip it with a tablespoon of milk or cream before mixing in the pecans and cranberries.
  • These can be assembled a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • If you prefer a warmer appetizer, you can briefly warm the assembled rounds in the oven before serving.
