There’s so much more you can do with sweet potatoes besides serving them as a side dish. Here, baked sweet potato slices stand in for toasted bread in this creative twist on crostini. Topped with blue cheese, walnuts and honey, they’re the perfect appetizer for autumnal gatherings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sweet potatoes, each about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) rounds
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 lb. (125 g) blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz./60 g) walnuts halves, toasted
  • 3 Tbs. fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/4 cup (3 oz./90 g) honey
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat an oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes and olive oil to coat lightly. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, using a second lined baking sheet if needed. Season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour, then flip the slices and bake until crispy and golden brown, about 1 hour more. If using 2 baking sheets, rotate them between the racks and from front to back halfway through baking. Let cool.

To assemble the crostini, top the sweet potato slices with blue cheese, walnuts and rosemary. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with sea salt. Serves 10.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Approved even by blue cheese haters! Everyone in my family except me hates blue cheese, but I made this recipe and I must say we finished those in one sitting! The strong flavor of the blue cheese is perfectly balanced out with the heartiness of the sweet potato and the sweetness of the honey that there isn't one single ingredient that is overpowering. Must try!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thanksgiving hit! I made these exactly as written for an app for Thanksgiving. They were an absolute hit. I made the sweet potatoes exactly as instructed and they turned out perfectly. I topped with blue cheese, walnuts, organic wildflower honey, and some crunch Maldon salt. Absolutely outstanding and I highly recommend as a party app.
