Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato

  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes Make sure they're wide enough to create a bite sized disc that can hold toppings.
  • Olive Oil Spray or Avocado Oil Spray I like to add a light mist of oil on the potatoes while they're cooking.
  • Salt Sprinkle a little salt on the sweet potatoes before baking.

Toppings

  • ¾ Cup Cranberry Sauce You may need more or less depending on how many you make.
  • ¼ Cup Pecans
  • ½ Cup Dairy-Free Brie I used the brand "Nuts 4 Cheese."

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting the sweet potato into small discs. They should not be too thick or too thin so they can easily hold toppings!
  • Place the slices of sweet potato onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet with a little space between each one. Mist with olive oil spray and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes then flip each disc and bake again for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baked sweet potato from the oven and top with a dollop of cranberry sauce and a small piece of dairy-free brie cheese. Bake again at 375 for 10 minutes.
  • Finally, press a pecan into the cheese and bake again for 5 minutes. (Make sure the pecans don't burn!) Serve hot!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Bake the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet so they don't get soggy. They don't need to be super crispy, but they do need to be sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
  • The sweet potato rounds should be slightly golden brown on both sides before adding the toppings.
  • Do not add too much cranberry sauce to the sweet potato or it will spill out on the sides and make it messy to eat.
  • When serving, add fresh rosemary to the plate for a festive look!

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover sweet potato bites should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Wait until they have cooled to room temperature before adding them into a container.
To reheat, bake in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer for best results.
