Description
Sweet Potato Rounds with Brie, Cranberry & Pecans offer a delightful burst of flavors that are as vibrant as they are delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150g (5 oz) brie cheese, sliced
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- ¼ cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start your culinary experience by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). As it heats up, carefully slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds. This thickness is essential as it allows them to cook evenly and develop that lovely caramelization. Once sliced, arrange them in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and use your basting brush (or a spoon) to ensure they are well coated. Season generously with salt and pepper, enhancing the flavor of the sweet potatoes. Roast in the oven for about 20–25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to achieve that golden color and soft texture.
- Upon removing the baking sheet from the oven, it’s time to layer on the creamy brie slices atop each sweet potato round. Return them to the oven for an additional 3–4 minutes, allowing the brie to melt beautifully into the sweet potato base. The gooey brie integrates seamlessly with the sweet potato’s natural sugars, making for a delectable duo.
- Once the brie is melted, it’s time for the finishing touches. Spoon a dollop of tart cranberry sauce over each round. The sharpness of the cranberry provides a lovely contrast to the sweet richness of the potatoes and cheese. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the rounds for that delightful crunch.
- If you’re feeling a little extra sweet, drizzle honey atop each bite before garnishing with fresh thyme leaves. The honey adds an additional layer of flavor that highlights the dish beautifully. Once plated, serve the rounds warm and enjoy the ooey-gooey, crunchy perfection!
Notes
These rounds are delightful warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature, making them versatile for parties.
