I came across an inspiration recipe for these online and was intrigued. I've changed several ingredients to make a healthier version. This goes together quickly and is really good. If you can find smaller diameter sweet potatoes, this would make a gorgeous little tray of appetizers. I'm thinking especially pre-dinner, while the turkey is roasting on Thanksgiving or Christmas, or take them to a friend's party on New Year's Eve.
toasted sesame oil
Everything Bagel seasoning
6oz. cinnamon-craisin goat cheese
raisins - enough to top each 'cookie'
pecan halves (1 on each cookie bite)
honey to drizzle over the top
Preheat your oven to 375°. Scrub and clean up the skin, shaving off any bad spots, on the sweet potatoes. Cut the ends off the unpeeled potatoes and slice the rest into about 1/2" slices. Drizzle a cookie sheet generously, that has sides, with toasted sesame oil. Rub each side in the oil, flip them over and sprinkle with the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Roast for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the goat cheese log into as many slices as you have sliced sweet potatoes. (I kept 5 small ones plain to give to my dog, Oliver, mashed with a bit of hot water and dry food for several of his next afternoon feedings) Poke with a fork to see if they're done. Don't let them get mushy, but they shouldn't be too crispy either. Remove from the oven and let sit for just a few minutes. Put the goat cheese slices on and use your thumb to push it in place. Next lightly push on about 5 raisins to each 'cookie' then push in a pecan half. Drizzle all of this with some good quality honey.
Mmmm, these are SO good, warm or cold. . .Lin
