Can I prep these ahead of time?

Sure! Roast the sweet potatoes and toast the nuts a couple of days early. Keep them in the fridge and warm the potatoes right before you put it all together. It's best to add cheese, nuts, and honey right before serving for maximum freshness.

What can I use instead of goat cheese?

Don't like goat cheese? You can swap in cream cheese, ricotta, whipped feta, or even a plant-based option like cashew spread. They'll each bring a different but tasty twist!

How do I know the potatoes are perfectly roasted?

Check if a fork slides in easily—they should feel soft but still hold their shape. Avoid over-roasting, or they might turn too mushy to handle.

Can I replace pecans with something else?

Of course! Walnuts, almonds, or pistachios are great options. Toast them first to make them extra flavorful. Need a nut-free version? Try pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead.

Got tips for serving these at a gathering?

Arrange them on a platter, then drizzle with honey just before everyone digs in. They're good either warm or after cooling off a bit. For potlucks, it helps to assemble them at the location to keep everything fresh.

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 3 tablespoons honey (and more to drizzle on top)

02 Salt and pepper for seasoning

03 4 oz goat cheese, at room temperature

04 Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs, optional for decoration

05 2 tablespoons olive oil

06 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, if desired

07 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

08 1/2 cup pecans, chopped and lightly toasted

Steps

Step 01

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Put some parchment paper down on your baking tray to make cleaning up easier.

Step 02

Spread the sweet potato slices on the baking tray you prepared. Use a brush to coat both sides lightly with olive oil. Add some salt and pepper. Roast them for 20-25 minutes, flipping them over halfway, until they're soft and the edges turn golden brown.

Step 03

As the potatoes cook, toss the chopped pecans into a dry pan on medium heat. Stir often for 3-5 minutes, and take them off the heat when they smell toasty.

Step 04

Once the potato slices have cooled a bit, spread some goat cheese on top of each one. Sprinkle toasted pecans over the cheese. Drizzle with honey and, if you'd like, add a pinch of cinnamon.

Step 05

Add a sprig of thyme or rosemary for a fancy touch if you like. These can be served warm or at room temp, perfect as a snack or side dish.

Notes

Mix cinnamon and honey into the goat cheese beforehand for even more flavor.
Want to prep ahead? Roast the potatoes and toast the nuts earlier, then just assemble when you're ready to eat.
Not a goat cheese fan? Feta or cream cheese work great instead.
