Walnut Maple Goat Cheese Roasted Sweet Potatoes

• total time: 36 minutes

Ingredients

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) 🐐

Directions

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. Alternatively, 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! 🍁✨
