INGREDIENTS:
SWEET POTATO STACK:

- Half tsp ground cinnamon
- Half tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Quarter tsp cracked black pepper
- Half tsp dried thyme
- 6 oz sliced vegan Brie cheese
CRANBERRY PECAN GLAZE:
- Half cup cranberries
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Quarter cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- One tsp orange zest
- One pinch kosher salt
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
INGREDIENT NOTES:
OLIVE OIL:
- This syrup coats the sweet potato rounds and makes them soft on the inside and crispy on the edges when we roast. Include avocado oil as a substitute.
SWEET POTATOES:
- Add these sweet potatoes to make the stacks, and they will have a natural sweet taste and golden color. They get tender from the inside, and the outside becomes caramelized after roasting. You can include butternut squash as per your choice.
VEGAN BRIE CHEESE:
- We would utilize this cheese for a creamy and rich texture inside the sweet potato layers. It gets soft and melts perfectly after heating. You may add vegan camembert cheese for another idea.
ORANGE JUICE:
- This juice includes fresh citrus taste to the cranberry glaze and balance the tart taste of cranberries. It makes the taste of the glaze fresh and light. You may include fresh lemon juice as an alternative.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, include baking paper on the sheet and heat the oven to 400°F.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into equal quarter-inch rounds.
- Toss the rounds with sweet potatoes, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, thyme, salt, and black pepper in the bowl.
- Put a single layer of potato slices on the sheet and roast them for 20 minutes.
- Simmer cranberries, maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, balsamic vinegar, and salt in the saucepan for eight minutes.
- Add the chopped pecans and turn off the flame, then put one roasted sweet potato round on the sheet.
- Include a slice of vegan brioche and second potato round, then repeat the layers thrice to make the stacks.
- Bake the stack for seven minutes and put it on the serving plate.
- Lastly, add cranberry pecan glaze on the stack and serve it warm.
TIPS:
- Slice the sweet potatoes into equal pieces for better cooking in even time.
- Cook the cranberry glaze till it becomes thick and keep it from burning.
- Assemble the stacks just before serving to get the best shape and texture.
- You should not crowd the baking sheet so much for better roasting.
