Description
These sweet potato rounds with brie, cranberry, and pecans are the perfect holiday appetizer or cozy autumn bite. Each slice of roasted sweet potato becomes a golden base for creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and crunchy pecans. They’re elegant yet easy, making them a crowd-pleasing snack for gatherings, festive tables, or just a little treat for yourself.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 6 oz brie cheese, sliced into small wedges
- ½ cup cranberry sauce (homemade or good-quality store-bought)
- ⅓ cup pecans, roughly chopped and lightly toasted
- Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and top each round with a slice of brie. Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese starts to soften.
Carefully spoon cranberry sauce over the melted brie and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Swap brie for goat cheese or feta if you want a tangier flavor.
Use maple-roasted pecans for an extra festive touch.
These are best served warm, but you can prep the roasted sweet potatoes ahead and assemble just before serving.
