Can I make these sweet potato rounds ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sweet potato rounds ahead of time before roasting. Simply slice and season them and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. When you are ready to serve, roast them, add the brie, and top with cranberries and pecans.

What can I substitute for brie cheese?

If you are looking for a substitute for brie cheese, goat cheese or camembert work wonders. Both options will provide a creamy texture and rich flavor, although they will impart slightly different taste profiles.

Are there any dairy-free alternatives for this recipe?

Absolutely! You can substitute the brie with a dairy-free cheese option, such as almond or coconut-based cheeses. Additionally, serve the dish with a vegan cream cheese to create a similar flavor profile without the dairy.

How should I store leftovers?

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore some of the crispiness.

Can I serve these sweet potato rounds cold?

Yes, these rounds can be enjoyed cold as well. While warm is generally preferred, they still taste great at room temperature or chilled, making them suitable for a picnic or as a cold appetizer!
