Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese (or cream cheese)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons walnuts (optional, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh rosemary (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping the thickness consistent for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the slices and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the sweet potato slices with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Toss again to ensure the slices are well-seasoned.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the cheese topping. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese (or cream cheese) with the honey until smooth and creamy.
Remove the sweet potato slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop or pipe a small amount of the cheese mixture onto each sweet potato slice.
Sprinkle the cheese-topped slices with chopped walnuts (if using) and a small pinch of freshly chopped rosemary for garnish.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
