Sweet Potato Rounds with Goat Cheese
Description
This recipe starts by slicing peeled sweet potatoes into half-inch rounds, then brushing each side with olive oil and sprinkling them with sea salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Baking at 400°F for 15 minutes per side softens the rounds, caramelizing their edges.
While baking, a creamy goat cheese topping is prepared by blending goat cheese, cream (or half and half), and honey, creating a smooth, mildly sweet spread. Once the rounds are baked and slightly cooled, a teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture is added to each slice. These are then topped with chopped candied pecans and dried cranberries which add crunch and tang.
The final touch is a light honey drizzle, bringing extra sweetness to complement the spices and goat cheese. This dish delivers a combination of soft, creamy, crunchy, and sweet textures and flavors suitable as an appetizer, snack, or side.
