Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Rounds:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings:
- 6 ounces brie cheese, sliced or cubed
- 1/3 cup dried cherries
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Sweet Chili Pineapple Sauce:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potato Rounds: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the peeled and sliced sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potato rounds in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be tender and lightly golden once done. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Make Sweet Chili Pineapple Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, sweet chili sauce, honey, and lime juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Rounds: Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. Top each round with a slice or cube of brie cheese, some dried cherries, and toasted walnuts.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the sweet chili pineapple sauce over the topped sweet potato rounds. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace brie with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by varying the honey according to your taste.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, but the rounds can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
