Ingredients

Sweet Potato Base

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thick rounds

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

• Salt & black pepper to taste

Topping

• 100 g goat cheese (soft or crumbled)

Instructions

2. Toss sweet potato slices with olive oil, cinnamon (if using), salt, and pepper.

3. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until caramelized and tender.

4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly so the cheese doesn’t melt completely on contact.

6. Top with toasted walnut halves.

7. Drizzle with honey like liquid gold.

8. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
