Because I wasn’t kidding when I said I couldn’t stop baking sweet potatoes!

I had the creamiest, honey goat cheese in the fridge, so I crumbled some on my baked sweet potato rounds, whatever I had left of my Sicilian honey, a few candied walnuts or pecans for crunch, a handful of cranberries and a nice drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Let’s not forget the fresh basil leaves of course! Oh, and a light drizzle of blood orange olive oil to finish, because it’s just magical you guys!

I call these my Goddess sweet potato goat cheese appetizers!

Easy technique happening here:

A really nice hot oven, well oiled sweet potato rounds so they don’t stick, a good pinch of sea salt and sweet paprika for a nice golden presentation. 

They will look so good on the Thanksgiving table with that fall orange color! And for Christmas too: red cranberries, white goat cheese and green basil leaves: Falalalalalalalalala

I’m clearly having a full-blown sweet potato obsession at this moment in time. 

So much so, that my brain cells are trying to figure out yet another recipe as we speak.

 I just can’t help my sweet potato dreams kids! I’m thinking:

  • sweet potato goat cheese and fried sage, yummy!
  • sprinkled with parmesan cheese
  • herbed ricotta and walnuts
  • roasted with brown sugar and cinnamon
  • black beans and guacamole
  • roasted sweet potato mash
