Description
A delightful appetizer combining roasted sweet potatoes, creamy Brie, tangy cranberry, and crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1⁄2-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces Brie cheese, sliced into small pieces
- 1⁄2 cup cranberry sauce (or whole cranberries)
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, chopped and lightly toasted
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional drizzle)
- Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange sweet potato rounds on the sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the rounds are tender and edges are lightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top each round with a slice of Brie, allowing it to soften slightly from the heat.
- Spoon a small dollop of cranberry sauce over each round, then sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Drizzle lightly with honey if using, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or holiday side.
Notes
Make sure the sweet potatoes are evenly sliced for consistent cooking. Toast your pecans lightly to enhance their flavor. Don’t skip the honey drizzle as it adds sweetness that balances flavors.
