Main ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Orange Zest
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Sweet Potatoes sliced into ½ – ¾" circles
  • ½ Cup Cranberry Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° and set out a cookie sheet.
  • In a large bowl combine olive oil, orange zest, salt and pepper. Add sweet potato rounds to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the sweet potatoes one by one in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space in between.
  • Roast sweet potato slices for 10-12 minutes, until the bottom is golden.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the rounds over using a spatula. Return to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 10-12 minutes until they are golden.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick pan over medium heat and toast the hazelnuts for about 1 minute, then add the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the cinnamon and stir to coat for about 1 more minute, ensuring the nuts aren't browning too much. Remove to a plate.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter and top each round with cranberry sauce, cheese, and nuts.
  • In a small dish, whisk the balsamic vinegar and honey until smooth. It will take a second to emulsify.
  • Using a spoon, drizzle the honey vinegar over the tops of the rounds and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve immediately.

Notes

Buy feta in the brick form for best flavor and texture. Never use pre-crumbled!
