How to make sweet potato crostini.

First you roast the sweet potato rounds into little crostini bites. And then you top those bites with the perfect combination of cheese, sweet, a little bit of tangy heat and herbs. It’s the perfect one bite. 

The crostini can be easy to burn, so make sure you slice the rounds evenly and watch them closely. Slicing the brie thinly is also a good tip because you want the cheese to be about the same thickness of the crostini. They’re best served right away or at room temperature.
