Delicious and elegant Sweet Potato Rounds with tangy goat cheese, drizzled with honey and fresh herbs, perfect as a flavorful appetizer or snack that combines creamy, sweet, and savory elements in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Topping

  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potato rounds evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Slice the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes if desired, then slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season the Rounds: Drizzle the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and ground cinnamon if using. Toss gently to coat all slices evenly with the oil and seasonings, enhancing their flavor and aiding caramelization.
  4. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the rounds for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown around the edges for optimal texture and taste.
  5. Top with Goat Cheese: Remove the roasted sweet potato rounds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Crumble goat cheese generously on top of each warm round to add a creamy and tangy contrast to the sweet potatoes.
  6. Add Final Toppings: Drizzle honey over the rounds for a hint of added sweetness and sprinkle finely chopped fresh thyme or rosemary for aromatic earthiness. Optionally, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze to introduce a tangy, rich element.
  7. Serve Warm: Present the sweet potato rounds warm as a delightful appetizer, snack, or side dish. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, omit the honey and balsamic glaze.
  • Sweet potato thickness affects cooking time; adjust roasting time accordingly for thinner or thicker slices.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity by half).
  • These rounds can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before serving.
