Healthy sweet potato and goat cheese bites are simple and easy making them perfect holiday appetizers.  

Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Appetizer bites are baked in the oven for a healthy and easy festive holiday appetizer-perfect for Christmas or Thanksgiving!

This is the time of year where appetizers are key…With so many holiday parties and dinners (as well as Super Bowl right around the corner) we need all the quick and easy appetizer recipes as possible.

Sure, we have our trusted appetizer standbys, but sometimes we need to spruce things up…ya feel me?

A gluten free version of crostini is made with oven baked sweet potato rounds topped with red pepper jelly, goat cheese and fresh parsley for a festive & healthy holiday appetizer perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

All you need Is 6 ingredients and you’ll be walking into that party like an appetizer boss.

These easy sweet potato appetizers can be made ahead too.  Just cook the sweet potato rounds up to 3 days ahead of time, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and when you’re ready to assemble, pop them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy again before adding the toppings.  They don’t need to be served warm, so even if you make them a couple hours before your event they’ll be perfectly fine room temp!

You’ll want to slice the rounds about ¼” thick.  You don’t want them paper thin because they won’t be substantial enough to hold your topping ingredients (and you risk the chance of burning), and you don’t want them so thick that they’re like hockey pucks.

I personally love the flavor combination of the red pepper jelly with sweet potato and goat cheese, but if you prefer to use another type of savory spread like fig jam by all means go for it!  You could also substitute the goat cheese for another crumbly cheese like feta, gorgonzola or blue cheese.

Something about sweet potato and goat cheese goes hand in hand…
the mild sweetness against the tangy creaminess is so delicious and elegant.

What I also like about these sweet potato bites is how festive they look!  The red, green and white really pop against the orange making them perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas appetizers.

Sometimes dips and cheeses can get so heavy and filling and before the main course is even served your guests are full and you’re left with TONS of leftovers…these bite-sized apps are light and perfectly portioned.

I made these back in the summer for a small get together at my house.  I planned on taking pictures of them to post on the blog but they must’ve been good because by the time I could grab one to snap a picture, they were all gone!

…Back to what I always say, keep a secret stash of leftovers at all times.  Trust the snack queen herself, nothing worse then leftover-regrets 😉

For a uniquely healthy party appetizer that’s perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas, try these sweet potato and goat cheese appetizer bites.  They’re especially great if you don’t want to buy a ton of ingredients and need to make sometthing in a pinch. 

…And for another easy holiday appetizer try my Roasted Garlic and Tomato Bruschetta!

My Favorites

Air fried apple fritters on top of a cooling rack with parchment paper. They're dripping with brown butter glaze. There's a cup of coffee and red apple in the background with two whole cinnamon sticks.
A white bowl of homemade cauliflower gnocchi that have been pan fried and golden. They’re a copy cat version of Trader Joe’s
