Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Optional additions/substitutions:
- Swap cream cheese for goat cheese for tangier flavor
- Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on potatoes before roasting
- Replace chives with parsley or green onions
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
Let the rounds cool slightly, then spread a dollop of cream cheese on each.
Top with dried cranberries and sprinkle with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
Slice sweet potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
Use softened cream cheese to avoid tearing the rounds.
Can be made ahead: roast potatoes and add cream cheese/cranberries just before serving.
Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
