Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces goat cheese (or cream cheese)
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 tablespoons walnuts (optional, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh rosemary (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping the thickness consistent for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the slices and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sweet potato slices with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Toss again to ensure the slices are well-seasoned.

Step 5

Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 7

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the cheese topping. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese (or cream cheese) with the honey until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Remove the sweet potato slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop or pipe a small amount of the cheese mixture onto each sweet potato slice.

Step 10

Sprinkle the cheese-topped slices with chopped walnuts (if using) and a small pinch of freshly chopped rosemary for garnish.

Step 11

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
