Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Rounds
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
For the Topping
  • 8 oz brie cut into small squares
  • ½ cup pecans chopped, toasted
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped, or 1 tsp dried
  • ½ cup dates chopped
  • ½ cup arugula or baby spinach
  • ½ tsp orange zest
  • 1-2 tsp hot honey or honey with a pinch of chili flakes

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil and salt, coating evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: While sweet potatoes roast, combine chopped pecans, honey, rosemary, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Spread the mixture on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  5. Step 5: Toast pecan mixture in the oven for 4–6 minutes until fragrant and caramelized, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Step 6: Mix toasted pecans with chopped dates, arugula, orange zest, and a drizzle of hot honey.
  7. Step 7: Place a small square of brie on each roasted sweet potato round. Return to oven for 2–3 minutes to soften and slightly melt the brie.
  8. Step 8: Top each brie-topped sweet potato with the pecan-date mixture. Drizzle additional hot honey if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes. For vegan options, swap brie with plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Experiment with nuts, herbs, and sweeteners to customize flavors.
