Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (+ 2 tablespoons)
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 oz goat cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
- Clean and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds, keeping the skin on or peeling as preferred.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, or mix in a ziplock bag by shaking it well.
- Arrange the slices on a baking tray in a single layer, leaving space for browning. Bake for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender; baking time may vary with slice thickness.
- While baking, combine maple syrup, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and thyme in a bowl.
- After baking, remove the tray from the oven and top each sweet potato slice with about 1 teaspoon of the walnut-maple mixture.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
- Once finished, sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the warm roasted sweet potatoes.
- Serve as is or with an extra drizzle of maple syrup on top, if desired!
Notes
- For an added crunch, consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the dish.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference.
