Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned.
- While potatoes roast, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Heat over medium, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Top each sweet potato round with a slice of brie. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Drizzle with cranberry-honey glaze, sprinkle with toasted walnuts, and garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
