For the Sweet Potato Rounds

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your baking sheet and parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds.
  3. Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season lightly with salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Once roasted, let the sweet potato rounds cool completely on the baking sheet.
  5. In a mixing bowl, add room temperature goat cheese and a splash of olive oil. Whip until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. If desired, stir in honey or maple syrup until fully incorporated.
  7. Spread or pipe the whipped goat cheese generously over each cooled round.
  8. Sprinkle with pomegranate arils and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
