Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potato Crostini
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the baking sheet in a single layer. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until the sweet potatoes are golden and slightly crisp at the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Rosemary Pesto
- In a food processor, combine basil, rosemary, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
- While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Crostini
- Place a small spoonful of rosemary pesto on each roasted sweet potato slice, spreading it evenly.
- Add a piece of burrata on top of each sweet potato slice, pressing gently so it stays in place.
- Sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds on top of the burrata for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
- Sprinkle each crostini with crushed walnuts for added crunch.
- Garnish with small rosemary sprigs if desired for a festive touch.
Step 5: Serve Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
