Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes, firm and smooth
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Blue Cheese (or gorgonzola for a milder taste)
  • 1/3 cup dried Cranberries, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into even rounds about half an inch thick.
  3. Season and Arrange: Place the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove from the oven and sprinkle each round with crumbled blue cheese followed by dried cranberries.
  6. Final Bake: Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts.
