Roasted Sweet Potato w/ Goat Cheese
roasted sweet potato
This is the easiest little snack or appetizer to make, it just takes 30 minutes to roast the sweet potatoes and is really easy to prep as well. I love this for a quick lunch, you can roast other veggies of course, but even keeping it simple with just the sweet potato is so delicious. You could easily amp this up to make a cute appetizer dish, by putting the sweet potatoes in individual ceramics and adding the goat cheese and honey on top with a little spoon in each. You can garnish with Rosemary, I really like hot honey, or even feta cheese if you prefer it over goat cheese. It is simple and delicious and a healthy yummy meal ideaRosemary,Rosemary, I really like hot honey.
how to prep + make
Preheat your oven to 400°.
Next get out a cookie sheet, ours is non-stick but I still like to add olive oil to the bottom of the pan.
Peel two large sweet potato.
Chop into bite-sized pieces; I typically cut in half, then cut into strips, and chop into little cubes almost from there.
Spread them all out onto the pan as every as possible. Add a little bit more olive oil to the top, then sprinkle salt & pepper on top.
You can add garlcic powder, fresh garlic, other veggies, red pepper flakes, rosemary, or any other spice you like at this step. I typically just keep it simple with salt and pepper.
Cook in the oven at 400° for 30 minutes - but this is important: half way through cooking, take a spatula and mix the sweet potato on the tray so they all get evenly cotaed in olive oil & bake evenly.
At the end you can turn your oven to broil at 400° for 5 minutes if you like them to have a little bit of crunch to the outside.
Servc warm, in a bowl, coat with crumbled goat cheese and a little bit of hot honey.
Enjoy! xx
