Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds
- 2 Large Sweet Potatoes – sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- Olive Oil Spray or Avocado Oil Spray – for misting
- Salt – to sprinkle
Toppings
- ¾ Cup Cranberry Sauce
- ¼ Cup Pecans
- ½ Cup Dairy-Free Brie (such as ‘Nuts 4 Cheese’)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potato rounds.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds to create bite-sized discs that can hold the toppings.
- Season and bake first side: Arrange the sweet potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly mist them with olive oil or avocado oil spray and sprinkle a pinch of salt over each slice.
- Bake and flip: Bake the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip each slice carefully and bake for another 15 minutes until the rounds are golden and tender.
- Add cranberry sauce and brie: Place a dollop of cranberry sauce on each sweet potato round, then add a thin slice of dairy-free brie on top. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt the brie slightly and meld the flavors.
- Top with pecans and final bake: Add one pecan on top of each sweet potato round and bake for a final 5 minutes to toast the pecans and warm everything through.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve the sweet potato rounds warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy-free brie with regular brie if you prefer.
- 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.
