Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Stacks
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Filling & Topping
- 4 oz brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry jam
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent the sweet potato stacks from sticking during baking.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring every slice is well coated with the seasoning mixture for maximum flavor.
- Assemble Stacks: Begin layering 3-4 sweet potato slices at the bottom of each muffin cup. Add a small piece of thinly sliced brie cheese between layers and continue alternating until each cup is filled with stacked sweet potatoes and brie.
- Bake Until Crisp: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The sweet potatoes should be tender inside and crispy on the edges by the end of baking.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the stacks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to firm up. Top each stack with a dollop of cranberry jam and drizzle with hot honey. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For easy slicing, use a mandoline to ensure even potato rounds.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level.
- These stacks can be prepared ahead and gently reheated before serving.
- Substitute brie with camembert or another melty cheese if desired.
