Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds. Toss in olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

- Transfer roasted sweet potatoes to a serving platter.
- Drizzle with honey while still warm.

Notes
– Maple syrup can be used instead of honey.
– Feta or blue cheese are great alternatives to goat cheese.
– Use pecans or almonds if walnuts aren’t available.
– Best enjoyed fresh, but can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.
– Pairs beautifully with roasted meats or vegetarian mains.
