Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ▢1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes scrubbed clean and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • ▢4 ounces goat cheese room temperature
  • ▢2 tablespoons milk I used 1%
  • ▢1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ▢Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • ▢1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans
  • ▢1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • ▢Honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil.
  • In a large bowl toss together the sweet potato slices, olive oil, salt and pepper. Lay the slices out on the baking sheet in a single layer, spray the tops with more cooking oil if necessary.
  • Place on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 10 minutes then flip them over and bake for another 8-12 minutes or until tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes bake, use a stand or hand mixer with the whisk attachment or handheld mixer to whip the goat cheese, milk, rosemary, salt and pepper until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture onto each sweet potato round. Top the goat cheese with a few chopped pecans and cranberries, then drizzle with honey. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Notes
The goat cheese mixture can be made a day in advance, but make sure to let it come to room temperature before dolloping on the sweet potato rounds.
No need to peel the sweet potatoes, just clean them well.
