Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the pecans lightly before placing them on top.
• Substitute dairy-free Brie with regular Brie if dairy is not a concern.
• Experiment with different nuts like walnuts or pistachios for varied flavor.
• Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the finished rounds for a tangy kick.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to maintain the texture and flavor. Avoid microwaving to keep the pecans crunchy.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potato rounds.
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds to create bite-sized discs that can hold the toppings.

• If you want a less sweet alternative, swap cranberry sauce for a chutney or fig jam.
• Ensure sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even baking.
• Try toasting the pecans beforehand for an added nutty flavor.
• These rounds can be prepped ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
