Equipment
- oven
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- small bowl
- fork or hand mixer
- brush for olive oil
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 6 oz soft goat cheese (chevre)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- optional toppings: chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds, or crushed pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange sweet potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, let goat cheese soften at room temperature. Whip with a fork or hand mixer until creamy for easier spreading.
- Once the rounds are cool enough to handle, top each with a dollop of whipped goat cheese. Drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh herbs or optional toppings like chopped nuts.
Notes
Slice sweet potatoes evenly for best roasting. Use a piping bag for prettier goat cheese swirls. Roast rounds and prep cheese ahead, but assemble just before serving to keep textures fresh. Optional toppings like walnuts or pomegranate add texture and color.
