Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbed Ricotta

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or rosemary, chives)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Season and oil: Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the sweet potato rounds, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and golden brown.
  5. Prepare the herbed ricotta: While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the ricotta cheese with chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, mixing well to infuse the flavors.
  6. Top the rounds: Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and have cooled slightly, spoon a generous amount of the herbed ricotta onto each round.
  7. Add the toppings: Sprinkle chopped walnuts and dried cranberries evenly over the ricotta-topped rounds for added crunch and a burst of sweetness.
  8. Serve: Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired and serve these tasty rounds warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh thyme with rosemary or chives for a different herb flavor.
  • For a vegan option, use a plant-based ricotta substitute.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
  • These rounds make a great appetizer or side dish and pair well with salads or roasted meats.
