Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into thick rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Cranberry Drizzle Ingredients:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • Arrange sweet potato slices on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup; season with salt and pepper. Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until caramelized and tender.

  • In a bowl, mix ricotta with lemon zest and lemon juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, and honey. Simmer over medium heat until cranberries burst and form a thick drizzle (8–10 minutes).

 

  • Plate the sweet potato slices, top with a dollop of ricotta, and finish with cranberry drizzle. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Slice sweet potatoes evenly for uniform roasting.

  • Make cranberry drizzle ahead for easier assembly.

  • Ricotta can be swapped with whipped feta or Greek yogurt for variations.

 

  • Store components separately for longer freshness.
