2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste
04 -
4 oz goat cheese, softened

1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
06 -
3 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
07 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
08 -
Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're fork-tender and getting golden around the edges.
03 -
While the potatoes are roasting, toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they become fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 -
Let the sweet potato slices cool slightly. Top each slice with a dollop of softened goat cheese. Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the cheese. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon if using.
05 -
Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or side dish.
# Notes:

For extra flavor, mix a little honey and cinnamon directly into the goat cheese before spreading
