Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

For the Topping

  • 6 oz Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
  • 4–6 fresh figs, thinly sliced

For the Candied Pecans

  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes – Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Arrange sweet potato rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Roast 20 minutes, flip, then roast another 10–15 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Candy the pecans – In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add pecans, honey (or maple syrup), and salt. Stir constantly for 3–4 minutes until glossy and lightly caramelized. Transfer to parchment to cool.
  3. Add the Brie – Remove sweet potatoes from oven. Top each round with a slice of Brie. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes until just melted.
  4. Assemble – Top melted Brie with fig slices and candied pecans.
  5. Finish & serve – Garnish with fresh herbs and a light honey drizzle if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • These rounds can also be served as a side dish with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking.
