I thinly sliced my sweet potato the short way to make small, pick-up-able, appetizer-sized bites.
Instead of toasting them in the toaster, I used my oven’s broiler.
Once they get toasted, about 4-5 minutes per side, all that’s left to do is top with a little spreadable goat cheese and some chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Festive and easy!
I drizzled these with a little maple syrup. It was a nice touch, but is totally optional. I also used a cranberry-infused goat cheese, which is also optional. Plain goat cheese will work just as well if you don’t have the cranberry kind.
Enjoy this fun appetizer and have a great Thanksgiving holiday. I’ll be back on Friday with a great recipe for your Thanksgiving leftovers…get excited!
