Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potato Crostini
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch rounds, aiming for uniform thickness to ensure even roasting.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potato slices, then season with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Sage Walnut Pesto
- In a food processor, combine sage leaves, parsley, toasted walnuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
- Pulse until finely chopped, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while processing until the mixture becomes a smooth pesto.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Crostini
- Once the sweet potato rounds are slightly cooled, spread a small dollop of sage walnut pesto on each slice.
- Top each round with a tear of burrata cheese.
- Add a small spoonful of cranberry sauce over the burrata.
Step 4: Garnish and Finish
- Sprinkle each crostini with finely chopped rosemary and a pinch of sea salt flakes for added flavor and presentation.
- Garnish with fresh sage leaves for a festive, aromatic touch.
Step 5: Serve
- Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and serve immediately while the sweet potatoes are warm and the burrata is creamy.
