These Sweet Potato Rounds with Herbed Ricotta, Cranberries and Walnuts are a fantastic healthy holiday appetizer. They are a perfect recipe for any vegetarian guests who you are feeding this festive season! They are a great party snack to try this year too.
Start by making the herbed ricotta. Place the sweet potato slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and ground cinnamon. Place the rounds on a large baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and crispy around the edges. Toast walnuts on a baking sheet in the oven. Chop walnuts and place a spoon of herbed ricotta on each sweet potato round. Heat in the oven for 2 minutes, just until ricotta is melty and warm. Top with chopped walnuts and dried cranberries. Drizzle with honey and serve!
To make Sweet Potato Rounds with Herbed Ricotta, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat an oven to 400 °F.
Mix 1 cup of whole milk ricotta cheese, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, 1 teaspoon of basil, 1 teaspoon of honey and ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt together in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Place the sweet potato rounds in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Using your hands, rub the oil and seasoning into both sides of the sweet potato rounds.
Place the rounds on a large baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip each of the rounds and continue baking for 15 more minutes until tender and crispy on the edges.
Spread 1 cup of walnuts on a baking sheet. Place the walnuts in the oven to roast 10 minutes before the sweet potato rounds are cooked.
Remove the cooked sweet potato rounds and toasted walnuts from the oven. Place the toasted walnuts on a cutting board to chop.
Switch the oven to a high broil setting.
Spoon herbed ricotta onto each sweet potato round. Place under the broiler for 2 minutes until the ricotta is melty and warm.
Serve garnished with chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and honey.
