Sweet Potato Crostini
Using sweet potato slices in place of toasted bread makes this crowd-pleasing appetizer gluten-free (and a little healthier!).
Serves 10 to 12 (makes about 36)
Ingredients
2 pounds deep orange sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced diagonally 1/4 in. thick and 3 to 4 in. long
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup diced pancetta
8 ounces cold brie cheese, sliced 1/8 in. thick
1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat. Arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheets and roast until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Flip slices over and roast until browned, another 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook pancetta in a medium frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Cut brie in lengths to fit sweet potato slices. Set a piece of brie on each sweet potato slice and sprinkle pancetta and pistachios on top. Return to oven to melt cheese slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a platter, then sprinkle with thyme.
