Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Base

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 8 oz brie cheese, sliced or crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease clean-up.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil to encourage browning and season evenly with salt and black pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Bake the rounds for 15-18 minutes, or until they become tender to the fork and develop a light golden brown color around the edges.
  4. Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each sweet potato round with a slice or crumble of brie cheese, a few cranberries, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans to build layers of flavor and texture.
  5. Melt Brie: Return the topped rounds to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the brie cheese is melted and creamy, while the cranberries soften slightly for a burst of tartness.
  6. Serve: Serve the Sweet Potato Rounds with Brie, Cranberries, and Pecans warm as a sophisticated appetizer or snack that highlights seasonal ingredients beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries for a more vibrant tartness or frozen cranberries, thawed slightly, as a convenient alternative.
  • For added sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the rounds before serving.
  • Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred or for nut-free options, omit the nuts entirely.
  • Brie can be swapped with camembert or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Sweet potato thickness can be adjusted but aim for about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
