The best part about holiday entertaining is all of the delicious food. We spend a lot of time thinking about the turkey or ham when it comes to holiday food, but today I’m sharing a delicious appetizer idea that will be perfect for your holiday party.

How to Make Sweet Potato Bites

Here’s what you’ll need to make these-

• 2-3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 3-4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 4 oz goat cheese
• 2 tbsp milk
• Notable Chardonnay to pair with these delicious little bites 😉

To make them, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and spray a large rimmed cookie sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss potato slices in olive oil and cinnamon to coat. Then, lay them down in a single layer. Pop them into the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Take them out, flip them all, and put them back into the oven for another 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whip the goat cheese and milk in a medium bowl until fluffy.

Once the potato slices are baked, spread about a tsp of the goat cheese mixture onto each one. Top with toasted, chopped pecans, and then drizzle with maple syrup. Enjoy!
