Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Rounds
  • 1 large sweet potato sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon to taste
  • ¼ tsp sea salt to taste
Herbed Ricotta
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp honey for drizzling
Garnishes
  • 1 cup raw walnuts roasted and chopped
  • ¾ cup dried cranberries

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

Prepare Herbed Ricotta
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the herbed ricotta to a small bowl and stir well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Bake Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use a sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch to ½-inch thick rounds.
  2. Add the sweet potato slices to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with avocado oil. Sprinkle sea salt and ground cinnamon over rounds. Use your hands to rub the oil and seasoning on both sides of the sweet potato rounds. Arrange rounds on a large baking sheet (or two if necessary). Bake for 20 minutes.
  3. Flip the rounds, then bake for another 17 to 20 minutes, or until rounds are cooked through and crispy on the edges.
Roast Walnuts
  1. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet. 8 to 10 minutes before the potato rounds are finished cooking, place the walnuts in the oven to roast.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Remove sweet potato rounds and walnuts from the oven. Place walnuts on a cutting board and chop.
  2. Place oven on high broil setting and move the oven rack to the second top shelf. Place a dollop of herbed ricotta on each sweet potato round and place in the oven for 2 minutes, just until the ricotta is melty and warm.
  3. Add chopped walnuts and dried cranberries to the rounds. Drizzle with honey and serve!
