Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings:
  • 2–3 oz goat cheese or cream cheese
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts)
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Toss slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden on the edges.
  5. Let cool slightly, then top each round with desired toppings such as goat cheese, honey, herbs, and pomegranate seeds.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sweet potato rounds ahead and store separately from toppings.
  • Add toppings just before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
  • Try savory versions with cheddar and herbs or sweet versions with cream cheese and cinnamon.
  • Roast rounds until edges are slightly crisp to prevent sogginess.
