About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Choose narrow sweet potatoes so rounds are bite-size.

Ingredients

2 long sweet potatoes sliced 1/3 inch
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz goat cheese
10 large fresh basil leaves cut into chiffonade, for garnish
2 tbsp hot honey
Sage or thyme

Method

01

Heat oven to 425°F. Toss rounds with oil and salt and roast 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
02

Top each with goat cheese; return 3 minutes.
03

Just before serving, stack the basil leaves, roll them up tightly and slice into thin ribbons. Drizzle the rounds with hot honey, scatter the sage or thyme and finish with the basil.
