Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 6 ounces brie cheese, sliced into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • Extra cranberry sauce for drizzling
  • Extra pecans, whole or chopped
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds, keeping slices even.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon (if using) until coated.
  4. Arrange rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet, without overlapping.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip each round, then roast another 10–15 minutes until golden and fork-tender.
  6. While sweet potatoes roast, spread chopped pecans on a separate tray and toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Remove sweet potato rounds from oven. Top each with a small piece of brie, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
  8. Return tray to oven for 3–5 minutes, just until brie softens and starts to melt.
  9. Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, then sprinkle with fresh rosemary and extra pecans if desired. Drizzle with more cranberry sauce if preferred.
  10. Transfer rounds to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Slice sweet potatoes evenly for best texture. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure crisp edges. Brie melts quickly—watch closely during the final bake. Toast pecans carefully to avoid burning. For nut-free, use pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Can be made ahead and reheated. Try variations with different cheeses or jams.
